Re: Mersey Tidal Array
Law here in Victoria now bikes on road only, no riding on the side walk.
But where no bike lane they take their chances as far as many are concerned.\
Law says you must give them at least a one meter clearance,
Try doing that with a tram one side and no where to

Re: Mersey Tidal Array
Trouble with that here there are a shortage of sidewalks as well . So if all hands decided to use the roads there would be roller skaters , gophers, bikes , prams and the occasional dog walker on the roads. You could say with all honesty Everyman and his dog. The motorist could drive on the grass roadside or gravel or be cruel to animals and run over the dogs, and their masters take their chances . JS

Why not, we had to learn how to ride a bike,
