Liverpool cycle lane is path-etic

Council chiefs last night defended their decision to build a cycle path just 18ft long.



Critics say the small stretch of black tarmac along a pavement in Liverpool takes just a few seconds to cycle, and does not appear to lead anywhere.

But councillor Peter Millea said it is part of an 80-metre cycle lane and was cheaper than digging up the pavement. He added: “It seemed logical.”
