Not sure about this one but most bike paths where I am have been desgned by traffic enginner who drive cars. They fusking mostly hopeless

You know they laid the wrong type of surface?” Smallman asked a driver in the comments. “If you have a hybrid or road bike it’s useless.
“It’s designed for kids’ mountain bikes. The surface is loose stones, it’ll shred a road bike tyre. No cyclist was consulted when they chose the surface type.”

What is this even talking about? Road tires work just fine on gravel, it’s not like they surfaced it with broken glass.

They’re saying it’s not a hard packed gravel. Someone got lazy and didn’t finish their job.
If the stones aren’t locked together by being packed down, they skip and slide across each other, which makes for poor ‘road’ conditions
We should set cars on fire every time they enter a public roadway. After all, cars belong in parking lots, not on streets!
