Lancaster Cycle Path
Sign Now
We note that it is Lancaster City Council policy to cover cycle paths with a loose gravel aggregate.
We believe that less cyclists will make use of local cycle paths as a result of this policy.
We therefore ask Lancaster City Council to re-consider their plans.

The cycle paths are well used by a wide range of cyclists. Family cyclists in particular need a smooth surface to help train youngsters in a cycle friendly situation. Gravel is not cyclist friendly. I will be discussing this stupid suggestion with my City

Do the County Council understand people or are they transfixed by correct fashion.

Surely you're not covering ALL paths, but why cover any? Gravel is dangerous to ride on.

There is not a good enough reason to justify covering are cycle paths with gravel. In doing so would make the cycle path untidy and more importantly dangerous.

Don't spoil the cyclepaths. Everybody can ride on the present smooth tarmac but those with thinner tyres will find they are not suitable for the proposed gravel
