I saw one today during my commute. The gaps are ‘wiggly’ & I’d expect they’ll be absolutely fine on a MTB, even when wet. But on a roadie they will be major hazard as gaps are 20-25mm wide & will rapidly pull wheels left right left. If I see any I’ll be staying well away!

Yeah, I raised that issue with the council; however, they assured me that these are specifically designed for bikes and will become the new standard across the cycleways. I agree though, they just look like an accident waiting to happen…

If so, it needs rotated 90degs. If only everything was such an easy fix!
