Safety alone isn't enough to get more women cycling. Cities must start building cohesive networks connecting the myriad places women need to go. This means looking beyond “Can women cycle safely here?” and asking: “Can women use this network to live their lives?” LISTEN: www.dw.com/en/why-arent...

The cycle access alongside the Hethersett Lane roadworks is now signed properly. It's important that this well-used cycle route remains open for the duration of the works.
A Road Closed sign indicates some roadworks along a road. A sign also indicates that cycle access is provided alongside the roadworks.

Hethersett Lane is now "closed to traffic" until Christmas Eve while they build the cycle track. What they failed to mention is that there's still access for cyclists and pedestrians, which is useful as this is an important commuter route for people working at the hospital and the Research Park.

Perfect late summer weather for our social ride today out to Sprowston. Mostly riding on quiet streets or cycle tracks but we were badly let down by the mind-numbingly dangerous crossing on the Blue Boar Lane cycle track, where we instead walked our bikes to the garden centre for the coffee stop.
