Hi there,
My name is Martha Kelner. I’m a journalism student at the University of Sheffield and I’m writing a story about potholes in Sheffield’s roads. You’ll no doubt be aware of Victoria Pendleton’s comments about potholes affecting cyclists last week. I’d really appreciate it if someone could comment on how bad the problem of potholes is for people in Sheffield and if it has been worsened by this year’s winter weather. My contact number is 07988 375289. If it’s easier I can phone someone to get a comment.
Thank you in advance,
Martha
Hi Martha the potholes in Sheffield are terrible and getting worse.
I’m delighted that you are pressing the Community Assembly for changes to make cycling up to Walkley easier. I made the same request to them last year but had no response. Is there any chance you could extend this route by also asking for a cycle lane and ASL for the traffic lights at the far end of South Road (junction with Walkley Lane?). Also (ideally) a sign warning cars of bikes approaching up Parsonage Crescent – this is a no exit road for cars and a lot of drivers think it is one way – and a toucan crossing to get onto south road (i.e. over Walkley Lane).
Thank you. If this makes no sense please email me and I will explain.
Re Walkley corridor
Now I’ve had a chance to reflect I’m not sure that continuing the cycle lane up Barber Road (i.e. beyond Crookesmoor Road) is such a good idea. The effect of this will be to potentially narrow the road for cyclists going down the hill who are already more vulnerable because going faster. I personally am happy cycling up that hill without a cycle lane. It’s the bit before Crookesmoor Road where it would really help because of the standing traffic. It’s too narrrow to overtake on the right and a cycle lane would legitimise passing on the left.
Thanks
Hi,
I am engaged in PG study at Nottingham and living in Sheffield. I was recently involved in a bicycle accident on Langsett Road. It drew my attention to the poor design of the tram stops that unnecessarily cause cyclists to have to cross the tracks a great number of times in any journey. As you will be aware the extra unnecessary risk posed is quite significant. The trouble is that SYPTE fail to recognise that there is a problem. In their response to me they assert that in 18 years they have received no notification of any accident (other than mine) involving a cyclist anywhere near a tram stop. I am looking to relieve them of their ignorance and am collecting information on similar accidents. I was wondering whether you could find any information for me to use. I am not asking for names of personal information. Perhaps approximate numbers, the time period, and contact details with which I could provide SYPTE. In any case I would welcome the chance to discuss this with you to see if you can help in some way.
Hello,
I’m a Journalism student from the University of Sheffield and I emailed Ian Loasby recently, asking whether I could be put in contact with Clare Draffin – to woman who’s running the petition against the Ecclesall Road Smartroute – and haven’t received a reply. I was just wondering whether anyone here could tell me roughly how many signatures have been collected for the petition? I’m doing an article on it as part of my coursework and would be incredibly grateful for this information.
Also, if any other members of Cycle sheffield have a comment on the issue, I’d love to hear from you. My email address is abbiedays@googlemail.com and my mobile number is 07508732679.
Thanks in advance and all the best,
Abigail Evans
I was a member of “pedalpushers” which transformed into cyclesheffield – maybe I still am, don’t remember receiving a subscription request in the last year. There used to be an email list – seems to have disappeared… Is there a list anymore?
