Duchess Nov 2016 8:24pm, 27 Nov 2016 7,242 posts	Quote Pin Duchess Cyclists on tow paths who think that ringing a bell immediately before turning a blind corner under a narrow bridge makes it okay to keep going at speed. Another couple of inches and at least one of us would have been testing the ice. Credit at least for having and using a bell though....

Crash Hamster Nov 2016 10:33am, 28 Nov 2016 820 posts	Quote Pin Crash Hamster Without a red border, those signs are advisory I can see why people ignore them; the sign operators give warnings like '40 queue ahead' when there's no queue often enough to encourage regular drivers to disregard the signs... ... then occasionally there's a queue ahead...
