In reply to LennyBoy. Agreed, I was surprised at how uneven the surface now is. I will be disappointed if they rip up more cycleway and re-seal it like that!

In reply to David P. Fear not, it's just the usual delay between sealing the road and re-marking it again; a nuisance for sure but not a change in cycleway provision. Personally I'm more concerned about the not wonderful re-surfacing effort that has resulted in a rather rough ride now along that cycle lane...

Talk about progress!?
Cars have now claimed what was a cycleway outside Canterbury University on Creyke road. The shoulder (cycle-lane) was recently ripped up and re-sealed for internet cable installation. Now that there is no marking on the freshly resealed road it has now turned from a cycleway into ‘shoulder car parks’.

I witnessed a cyclist having to swerve out into the traffic (almost hit by car) there today. Is there any way to remedy this? I hope this is temporary and not a planned change or we have just taken a MAJOR step backwards.
