Remember those ugly plastic bollards Council put up at the Stuart St/Burringbar St intersection that got knit-bombed immediately by some kind-hearted soul? I was so pleased when they were removed – that is, until cycling along, I hit the rockhard yellow lumps they were replaced with and nearly went flying into the traffic.
I can think of only two reasons these speed bumps may have been bolted into the centre of the bike lane: 1. Their effect upon impact will increase the sales of yoni steaming herbs within the Byron Shire, or 2. Council’s bike lane infrastructure is designed by someone who has never ridden a bike along a road. Can we try for third time lucky, please?
