Yes, indeed, the previous, but one, blog's photographs were taken on the other side of the road, and not too far from the Carlisle, though not such a conflicting a scenario as you appear to remember... I took these photographs this morning at about 06.30 from here, and it was a wee bit wet, so not too bright a morning!
You suggested the "markings just stop", though these 2 photographs show they do not 'just stop'. On the floor there is a clear depiction of a cycle, leading cyclists to the right, and even cyclists who are illiterate could make out what this image tells them...
Also, the sign at the same place has an arrow that points cyclists to the right, not to the left, just before where the previous images had been taken, for example, below:
Sadly, it was wet, so I put my camera away before carrying on, but in a couple of minutes, when I was the other side of the road to St Mary in the Castle, a young lad (late teens/early 20s) was cycling along the pavement, heading into town, outside their restaurant. As I said, before 7 in the morning, very little road traffic, a cycle path to my right, and the lad was riding along the pavement...
It does need sorting out, again noting the law, cyclists "MUST NOT cycle on the pavement", paragraph 64 (website).
Hello Steve, have just discovered your blog. I'm the Hastings Battleaxe: http://hastings-battleaxe.blogspot.co.uk/, and would like to follow your blog but you don't seem to have any join or follow boxes on your posts. Totally agree about the cyclists BTW - Battleaxe rants about them also - particularly on the path to Bexhill - am fed up of being mowed down by maniacs.
