After defending its decision to install bollards and barriers on the city's cycleways and shared-use routes by citing “safety”, the council has rearranged the controversial bollards but the delivery cyclist who brought the issue to attention is

still unconvinced if the solution is good enough.

Now, the middle bollard on the exit of a canal crossing that’s shared by cyclists and pedestrians has been pushed back, creating a diagonal space for riders to navigate their way through.
The growing number of bollards and barriers in Milton Keynes first came to light when Steve Abraham, a cyclist known for his distance record attempts who works as an independent food delivery rider for companies such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats...

...what tremendous career success he has had.

Obviously influential... for those who want the professional advice of a deliverty boy or night shift office cleaner.

I agree. I have seen less than half a dozen cars in the underpasses by Network Rail car park at night, where the petrol heads hang out. They appear to just want to take a few photos and do a few dougnuts. That's in the 25 years I've lived here and it's
where I usually hang around for Deliveroo orders. Other than that, there's a few parked cars obstructing entries to redways in a few places, a few kids on motorbikes and quite a few illegal electric machines. Other than that, I only really encounter
authorised motors on redways. It would be very easy to drive onto grass verges and around bollards to get onto some of the redways.
