The World’s Smallest Cycle Lane?
I love Liverpool – it is a great City to live in, but – like most things in life – it is far from perfect. There is rollercoaster of a season from Liverpool football club (I am a life-fan and season ticket holder), the bizarre way in which the council spends money, the weather and now this: the world’s shortest cycle lane?
I occassionally cycle to work (and I say occassionally!). On Friday, I went down Lawrence Road, Wavertree. I have been down this road many times and noticed the cycle lane on the road – but this time, finally remembered to take the picture.
I want to put it in for the smallest cycle lane in the world award if such a thing exists.
What were the council thinking? It is even on Google Maps, Street View. There is even a sign to tell you that there is a cycle line – this is especially noteworthy, but I guess at least they have been thorough?
It makes me laugh/cry/sigh every time I cycle that way.

I know why this is!!
It used to turn into a dead end for cars going up the hill at that junction – but cyclists were encouraged t keep going with their own anti-flow cycle lane that began here.
I few years ago the council finally opened the road to continue as two way, but I guess they wanted to save their paint supplies…
Let me know if you have any other mysteries that need solving Matt!!
