Do you run in cycle lanes?

Spirogyra · 2016-05-08 09:17:05

Hi I do so quite a bit. The road is less damaging to the bones than the path ? But how safe I feel varies quite a bit. Am I being foolish in doing it at all or is it established practice ? Thoughts appreciated ☺

Arguing now about who is likley to be hurt more badly should a collison occur between a runner/walker in a cycling lane and a cyclist. Completely missing the point about the stupid reckless ignoarance/arrogance of the walker/runner using a cycling lane in the first place.

BTW, a collision could result in injuries to both parties. Who suffers more depends on the collision circumstances.

....and that's where I leave the discussion, now that any semblance of genuine debate will be cast to the four winds.

I'd be more worried about the people driving in the bike lane.
