I loved cycling over that bridge - it was great.

I live just up from all this desctruction at Broomhill Cross on Crow Road however was blissfully unaware until I was out for a cycle last week - I was gobsmacked. I'd not heard a word about this.

An American lady tourist on a bike stopped me to ask me where the cycle path was. I explained there had been a cycle path, "just over there", until last week, but that she'd have to take her chances on South Street.

The flats are all right on the waters edge - you can't even see the river. For a brief period after the granary was gone, you became aware that the river was actually there, now its completely hidden by these hideous flats. one part of it is over 20 stories tall (i counted).

The other amusing thing is that the rear balconies of the flats that face the road, are in constant shade due to the monster block of flats at the rivers edge. At about 5pm on a lovely midsummers night, they were in shade and the people who were moving in looked seriously miffed.

I'll stick with my 1898 tenement flat, thank you very much...

The sun's out, folks in the city are buck nekkid and I fancy doing something rash like going out on my bike.

Thanks.
