I long ago gave up road bikes in Sheffield.Its deadly.Brook Hill roundabout,Shalesmoor Langset Road,Halifax Road,Crookes Road,you name it.Bits here,bits there.Most cycle lanes simply run out of advise you to dismount etc etc.Usual joke like the empty green buses and the tram which leaves out the serious jams because of the paucity of the tracks.
They are building even more offices and apartments at West Bar, when they can't fill the rest. Manchester is talking of 200K extra living in their town centres.
Crikey moses. I don't recognise that as Tenter street at all Tim. Why so many hi-rise buildings? I looks awful and as you say a huge waste of money. There are other areas of Sheffield that need investment more than this monstrosity. Is this to do with the Chinese again?
As a resident who lives on the roundabout (was roundabout now junction) who drives and cycles.... what a waste of money. Stupid and if it isn't broken don't fix it
@timawells that's what they did at the burgeoning roundabout at leppings lane. Used to be fine as a roundabout and.now it's filtered like 3 or 4 ways it's a joke
what a waste of money how many cyclists do you see in sheffield especially going to work,that area now is mainly students and alot of Chinese and like you said single lane traffic causes more pollution,they haven't got a clue and many years ago used to go to croft house to the gym and do work on weston tower which is now run down.
I saw a few of the woke middle class cycling along Pinstone st on Saturday. Some kind of event. I am cyclist but don't need to virtue signal about it. Pointless going shopping on a bike.
@@deedahinkent Jon I am sure they could have spray painted the egg box to blend in. I think it was built to last 100 years. What has replaced it looks awful.
Manchester is talking about flooding their town centre with 200,000 extra people Richard. Its not going to be just for students, I think this is going to be driven by immigrants.

Simply reCYCLING money.
There is some kind of tax payer funded theft going off, but hard to prove.
Why are they building 'towers' when there are unoccupied buildings around it?
Stop asking sensible questions 😂
Those grey/dark grey towers look grim and awful - like some dreadful watchtower. Surely even redbrick would have been more attractive to look at.

is that just the lift shafts, which they usually build first, then the apartments will be built around them?
Yes Rob. Sam construction metal frame, insulation and then brick slips. What could go wrong.
Hi tim what rhe hell the council doing .... No one cares about cycling lanes its pathetic mate
I did 25 miles on Sunday and didn't see another cyclist.

If only they had invested a fraction of this into modern Sheffield industrial production Mike.

Now we will have cars waiting for the lights to tell them to go, rather than free flowing traffic.

@@JC-ps2zy They make everywhere more confusing and dangerous.

Aesthetically challeging Tim , is there such thing as modern grandeur ?
Jon has Sheffield had anything decent in my lifetime? Other than the hole in the Rd complex and the Castle house Co-op, ABC and Cockaynes.
@@timawells Morning Tim , as I've said before I didn't mind the "eggbox" but apart from that and those you've just mentioned nothing springs to mind .

Another waste of money

Correct
Is this the real reason for cycle lanes🤔
@@misscoutts6193 Wouldn't they be better using the Canal? Came in by boat... travel by boat.? 🤨
