OK ! Recently spotted this sign near Manchester Town Hall on Princess Street and am wondering what exactly its purpose is?
Does the sign mean that it is a slightly half-hearted cycle way or perhaps a total lunch-out cycle way...? Am I allowed to cycle on the ramp where it has been posted and, if so, why is there not a similar sign at the other end of the ramp route?
If people are not supposed to cycle on the ramped pavement where this sign has been placed - why not put a "no cycling" sign - and if people don't understand the logo sign then spell it out in words.
And here's me thinking that in the "Age of Austerity" that City Councils are supposed to be strapped for cash... am tempted to send in a Freedom of Information Act request to ask how much was spent on this splendid example from the Department of Silly Signs...
Meanwhile... would welcome suggestions from readers of this blog for any suitable alternative captions.... there maybe a (small) prize for the best (and printable!) suggestion.... now there's a challenge.
Yours in puzzlement.
