Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

They intend to do a LH hairpin off the river to go up the cliff road.

This is at traffic lights with 2 lanes and the inside lane is 95% straight on. Most bikes will need to take the bend from the RH lane. Unless they have police to block traffic, it could be a problem.
