As we are writing this around the city things are happening, it’s been nearly a year since our Cycle Hub in the city centre opened and although we’ve been managing it for Sheffield City Council there has been very little to suggest we are here. But things are changing and we are now becoming a little more visible.
Not only are we affixing stickers to just about every bicycle stand in the city advertising our facility but there are now official blue highway signs going up. They’re not that obvious at the moment as there is only 2 but they do point in the right direction but this may also confuse a little because one is located outside Yates pointing down Cambridge Street a road that we would all believe to be one way but surprisingly that has changed and now cycles can legally ride down Cambridge Street and along Cross Burgess Street to the Peace Gardens, Although it’s not perfect, the parked cars on each side of Cambridge Street don’t really make it wide enough for cars and bikes. So maybe the Council need to forego a small amount of revenue from the parking spaces to make the road safer for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike.
