It was not long after I'd had a note from these people, and I wrote a letter to them suggesting they put a second row of barrier beneath the existing to fill the void and stop other bikes being wedged or even more importantly stop a sliding rider hitting a post ......... within a few weeks (and ever since) there was a second row of barriers there .....
Now whether that was as a result of my letter, or whether they were going to do it anyway, I don't care - the point is something was done. Hasn't got them to replace the cheese-grater wire in other places though .....
The thing is, any event like this is bound to have the nanny-state, apron-string clutching safety types coming out the wood-work ....... but doesn't that just make it more important to get more "normal" perspectives across
