'Bicycle lane, which is more difficult than games' is a hot topic, and there are obstacles as well as winding.



Providing a dedicated bicycle lane has the advantages of preventing accidents in which the bicycle collides with pedestrians and automobiles, shortening the travel time by bicycle, increasing the number of cyclists, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, it is reported that 'running here is more difficult than a game' because the bicycle lane installed in

Edinburgh , Scotland is winding and there are obstacles.

This is a video posted on Twitter by Twitter user Dave McCraw when he tried riding a bicycle in Edinburgh's bicycle lane.



The black part that extends in front of you is the bicycle lane, but you can see that it seems difficult to run because there are manholes and meandering.



When I actually run, when I try to run firmly in the bicycle lane, I have to tilt the bicycle many times and turn, and I feel like I am running a special course competing for bicycle skills.



Not only are there utility poles and street lights right next to the bicycle lane, but there are also parts where the lane is interrupted for some reason. It seems that the supermarket is on the left side here, and there is a danger that shoppers who exit the door will cut through the bicycle lane as it is.



There are many big obstacles, and when I watch the video running at a fairly high speed, I wonder if it will collide.



Pedestrian lanes and bicycle lanes are intricately intricate, so pedestrians often walk normally in the bicycle lane.



Sometimes you have no choice but to get on the road.



What's more, the bike lane seems to be very bumpy, and the video below with the camera's stabilizer mode turned off suggests that it would be very uncomfortable for the cyclist.



Foreign media Kotaku introduced McCraw 's video, stating that Edinburgh's bike lane is a real-life version of the paperboy arcade game, which offers a part-time newspaper delivery.

The Scottish bike lane was built as part of a £ 207m project to run trams and was just opened in the spring of 2022. However, many people, like McCraw, have complained about bike lanes, and other media have reported problems with bike lanes.

Deadline, an overseas media, posted the following image of a pole standing in the middle of the bicycle lane. 'The new bicycle lane is waiting for an accident.' 'Even if you avoid the pole in the middle, you may get stuck in the dent of the curb.' 'I almost hit it several times. It's really dangerous.' I am.
