As for the angle, why should all the cyclists (and there are quaite alot) have to get off and walk through the entrance, just because a driver (potentially the same one all day) decides to block the entrance.


Wayfarer, cyclists could get through easy enough - it was the guy towing his kids or something in a trailor who couldn't quite get the angle. How much space do you leave? Enough for a tandem with a trailor? All I'm saying is that the guy probably wasn't being inconsiderate - just didn't think about everything.

I doubt they're ALL doing so too. I doubt the BMW guy was. My point was that sometimes things aren't as they seem. The car could've been a commuter who knew he was blocking a cycle lane and was behaving arrogantly. But it could've been an entirely different situation. You say it yourself - 'doubt very much', 'pretty safe'.... we don't know for sure.

He could've been a visitor who didn't appreciate the magnitude of his crime. Then gets to his car to see criminal damage. Give HOP a bad reputation IMO.
