Would you cycle over Claudelands Bridge?

Reporter Hamilton Press

A cycle-friendly makeover to Claudelands Bridge could increase risks for cyclists, a Hamilton courier driver believes.

He says they're going to make it "100 times worse", as the concrete barriers are too low and similar in colour to the road so they won't be seen. He says … View more
A cycle-friendly makeover to Claudelands Bridge could increase risks for cyclists, a Hamilton courier driver believes.

He says they're going to make it "100 times worse", as the concrete barriers are too low and similar in colour to the road so they won't be seen. He says "he believes the cyclist will clip them and tip straight into traffic".

Do you agree? Are you a cyclist who uses the bridge?

Hi. does anyone have a small red carpet or red rug either going cheaply, free or to borrow.
Hoping to get one before Tues 24th.
I'm running the meeting at my toastmasters club (at Western community center in Nawton) and my theme is an Awards ceremony type meeting.
As hopefully all attending members will be glammed up (dressed in their best) I want members and any guests to get the red carpet treatment by having a small carpet or rug at the main door upon entry whereby nibbles and soft drinks will be available.
If anyone else has one available please contact me on 0273901487. Will want preferably by Monday 23rd.
As only needed for a brief period willing to buy if offered for a really very cheap price but hopefully someone has 1 I can borrow or for free.
Many thanks
PS people genuinely interested in toastmasters are welcome to attend. Meeting starts at 7.15.

The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.

A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.
