£600k cycle lane hospitalises three cyclists in 24 hours.

...And injures a fourth and manages to entice a car into becoming wedged. If you looked up the definition of poorly thought out, it would be this scheme, a section of cycle lane with a rounded kerb catching riders out.

More lunacy from the Green nut jobs of Brighton and Hove.

You'll need to expand on that. It's a cycle lane, most of us here would generally regard that as a good thing, separating cars & cycles. It's been poorly designed, I think is a fair assertion. What is the lunacy? Strong words, I'd be interested in an explanation.

You're equating a poorly thought out kerb on a small section of cycle path with a whole council's set of policies. I don't think you've thought this through at all well.

Although I agree entirely with the balls up the greens have made of the place, but on this occasion it's like pointing at a pothole & declaring there's been a communist revolution, it doesn't compute in the slightest, although it's very PH.

Why start the thread in the first place then if it's just a poorly thought out kerb on a small section of cycle path? Hardly ground breaking news is it?

Because it may be of interest to cyclists? Particularly in Brighton. Who knows, maybe I've saved a couple of A&E trips whilst you have been whining about local councils. And incidentally, as the OP, this topic was always in Pedal powered, never in NP&E. News has nothing to do with anything.
