Monday Morning Bristol Traffic

[PurpleGorilla]

Wear a bright pink jacket, have a pink bag/panniers and a blonde long haired wig under your cycle helmet. Alternatively have see through black cycling shorts/tights and keep your bum of the saddle.

That way you will be given plenty of room.

Is that your cycling outfit?

"PIP" might want to shave that bum first

worked in Bristol a lot, but always lived in the hotel next to the client site during the week so its only a short stroll into the office.

yes elected mayor in Bristol seems to be a big mistake. all sorts of nonsense ideas being used.

Has anyone ever braved doing a cross Bristol cycle?

It appears there's a route that is cycle friendly in places - at least from the yurts of St Werberghs up to Stoke Gifford. I could park the car in Whitchurch and cycle in from there.

I don't fancy the bit along the St Philips Causeway though

From StW have a look at going up Romney Avenue through Cheswick Village. That will get you to the big roundabout by Abbey Wood.

I can also follow the Whitchurch Way to Arnos Vale. It's just the bit between there and StW that has some hairy bits.

There are some real "muggers paradise" style underpasses around Easton, Laurence Hill etc.

The pink? Yep.

Its only going to get worse when they finish covering the airfield in Filton with houses. Luckily I'm heading out of Bris and not in most days

If they really wanted to be green then why not look at a tram/metro system?

Access into Bristol from the South and West is atrocious

[LondonManc]

Until the A4174 gets upgraded to be part of a proper orbital motorway with the M5 and M4, the problems will continue. Going in on the M32 is fine if you want the immediate centre round the shopping area; other than that, the times I've been to Bristol, it's horrendous. Lovely city, but a nightmare to get round.
