Oh wait, that does sound obviously dangerous. But at least the cyclists can have a good chat, which is much better than someone using a mobile phone.

But having been involved in traffic calming projects I would suggest that the gap shown in the photo (which is too narrow for cyclists) is not actually for cyclists at all. The gap is usually to ensure that drainage along the kerbline remains uninterupted; this provides a much more cost effective solution.

I agree that it does not help that these gaps often resemble the often hotch potch gaps left for cycle lanes. But in this case there you have it.
