    NO pedestrians

    If only, I’ve only ridden it twice, and both times there were joggers and walkers. Not loads, but some.

      yeah tbh i think for this to work they probably need a pedestrian access running exactly beside it so there’s no reason for pedestrians use the separated cycle lanes

      people are gonna be entitled and fighting that is a losing battle

        I don’t mind the joggers tbh, as long as there isn’t a group of 4 people walking side-by-side they are easy enough to go around.

        Its a pretty bad walk anyway, nothing really to see.

          i guess joggers are kinda a “casualty of broad language”… people see pedestrians, people think walking is okay

          but also just like bikes on the freeway are a hazard, i’d say pedestrians of all kinds on the veloway is a hazard… they’re always just going to be much slower
