Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I moan but I'm fairly sure I met and passed RichHL yesterday on a not fit for purpose section of shared footpath and cycle path. Neither of us ended in the ditch or the road or even cursing the other under our breath (I think) so perhaps it isn't that bad.

Autocorrect grinds my gears! I swear I typed "nor" twice in that last post.

Technically they are supposed to meet a certain width before designating them shared use. I often find that the cycle lanes are the side of the road are so badly maintained its safer to cycle in the road and besides motorists need to learn to share better

When I am in my car there is always an irresponsible bike in the way. When I am on the bike the fecking drivers are trying to kill me. It must be a conspiracy.

People who are so thick that they can't comprehend the idea that there are people out there who are more intelligent than they are.

In general, if I'm cycling I'd rather share the road with cars than share the old railway path with dog-walkers, kids on scooters, old couples tottering along arm in arm, birdwatchers and joggers. And when I'm jogging on the old railway path, I'd rather cyclists used the roads.

People in restaurants who blow their noses on the paper napkins and then leave them (the napkins not the noses, although... :-() for the staff to clear away. That's just so nasty. There's no excuse for such filth. Take it away with you and either flush it down the toilet or put it in a bin outside.

Urgh gross.

Can I add hankies? Even thinking about a hankie makes me want to hurl.
