I cycled 8.41 miles in search of an ice cream and earned 70 BetterPoints with @BetterPoints betterpoints.uk @ericonabike @RideLeicester @bricycle @gavcarter90 @OweniteAdam 
A fine warm evening as I headed out in search of #wands on the protected #popupbikelanes - I rode the whole way on new or existing cycle lanes, some very old, others not quite finished, I didn’t find an ice cream but I saw a lot of #cones
Once in town, I headed for Granby Street and the contraflow #cyclelane where historically (Feb2020) there was always a vehicle blocking it - but the #wands are in, parking bays suspended for physical distancing and continental cafe culture, and a clear route to the train station
So I went for a #cycle ride on the new pop up cycle lane last night - as I spotted this sign at the end of Western Park Road #A47 @ericonabike @RideLeicester @XrLeicester @SustransEMids @Maryam_Amatul @janet_rideleics @OweniteAdam gets some thoughts #NoGoingBack #getpedalling
The lane starts just after the pinch point of the railway bridge and uses the bus lane - it’s clearly marked but the entrance is narrow and the first sign is #MenAtWork which could give the impression of roadworks rather than a cycle lane as the cyclist in the last picture shows
Once you’re in the lane it provides protection though this ends at each of the side roads, dropped kerbs and bus stops along the route - the cones appeared to be sited inside the solid white line rather than on it
