It's a critique of the poor infrastructure - bungs us onto narrow pavements.

Don't use it! The provision is entirely unsuitable so take your rightful place on the road.

I take your point but shes doing nothing wrong, its reminding me of drivers who take photos of cyclists doing mothing wrong and saying "look at this idiot!" I know youre not doing that Jim, it just seems a bit intrusive.

I agree, she's doing nothing wrong at all... & perhaps best not to use it but for 80% of its length it is perfectly wide enough. I have edited the post.

Theyre putting one of them in on Hall Road in Norwich. They wont even delineate where the cyclists and peds go. I will ignore such a stupid lane and invariably i will get abuse from drivers for doing so.

It's like the planners think we are all bimbling along like Miss Marple rather than trying to get somewhere on time. That cycle path for me is a PITA because it doesn't cater for me needing to turn right at the next roundabout but I feel forced onto it by the angry glares of motorists and the otherwise wide and smooth shared path. Bah !

including Westlegate does have some demarcation but the width of the footway on Hall Road would not allow any separation.
“We are building on the existing shared use facilities that run down the site. Some of it is already there and this is simply adding bits in the middle. “The width is not adequate to provide a footway and a cycleway. It is either the shared space or nothing. The biggest problem is we simply do not have the space to provide for all different users.”
Take it and be grateful.

Bloody rags and broken glass on the tarmac with police enforcing single lane traffic on the way home tonight. Glad I left a little late, or who knows what else I would have seen...

Lovely ride home on my Carbon! Beat my PB on the commute home by 4mins! 
Though with that said.... I absolutely pooped myself when one of them long arse limo's did a close pass - He was so close i could of reached in through the open window and slapped the driver. Bodged a clip in setting off from a set of lights and almost went down but recovered with the grace of a fat ballerina. 
Just got a painful little graze on my left calf.
Personal Observation:
Is it sad that im actually enjoying riding my carbon my than my Triban? Even though I had ridden my carbon a fair few times for short trips, I didnt REALLY THINK anything of it till I rode it on the DD. Now its grown on me so much that I miss it when im out on the Triban
11-speed ultegra groupset just run smooth as butter when it comes to shifting.

Love for bikes comes and goes. Right now I'm enjoying (again) riding my £85 fixed bike because it takes 2 seconds to lock it up.
So don't ditch your Triban. You'll appreciate it again at some point... Probably shortly after paying £££ for a new Ultegra cassette and chain :-D

definitely won't go as far as putting an ultegra groupset on but a 11 speed 105 upgrade seems achievable at a later date

Found a nice short cyclepath yesterday on my commute.
The Lamplighters Marsh which runs from under the M5 bridge at Avonmouth to the Lamplighters pub in Shirehampton.

I will have to look for that one... Does it run beside some industrial or car parking? Trying to think what I've seen looking down from the bridge...
