Shortest Cycle Lane?

According to the Daily Mail, Officials said it was to ‘highlight the interface between the eastbound carriageway and the beginning of a new contraflow facility’ in Cardiff city centre and to encourage green transport.

On a completely random note, I couldn’t help notice the Daily Mail had five glaring typo’s within the space of three lines. (link) Maybe it will get updated later, but, I have always wondered if the Daily Mail just employ random people from some call centre in Bombay to write any old stuff.

Cyclist Kevin Hughes, 47, said: ‘It’s just hilarious. I saw it as I was cycling pst and couldn’t believe my eyes.

‘Obviously nobody could cycle in it because it is so so small. You just hav time to get int he saddle before getting off again.’

    I love the fact you’ve mis-punctuated ‘typos’. :-)

    Maybe the Daily Mail’s employees are the latest batch of highly educated native english language graduates from the UK.

    Another fine example from the East Cambs village of Fordham. Part of the district council’s safe cycling route so they don’t have to provide transport from the surrounding villages to the local secondary school.
