The world's ten worst bike lanes, rated by Discerning Cyclist. In number 1, "A Moronic Cycle Lane in Edinburgh, Scotland"—yes, it's Leith Walk!
What it doesn't show is the invisible 5cm high bevelled kerb separating the cycle path from the pedestrian pavement, so that if the sun's in your eyes or you're not keeping your eyes peeled you WILL sprain your ankle sooner or later. (Yes, there have been multiple pedestrian injuries.)
I have to survive this when food shopping.
