UK: ‘World’s Shortest Cycle Lane’ Sends Bikes Onto Pavement, Locals Miffed

🤣

_{^{The world’s shortest cycle lane is 8 ft long}}

Residents in the United Kingdom have criticised the government for spending heaps of money on the ‘world’s shortest cycle lane’ which takes almost a second to travel. 

This little stretch is just 8 feet long and features a lopsided rectangle with a bicycle and an arrow pointing left. This ends up directing riders onto a pedestrian pavement. The unusual-looking markings were painted on a newly tarmacked road in Birmingham city centre and intend to help cyclists navigate their way around the city during the Commonwealth games.

Pint-sized: After a year of disruption on Corporation Street, has one of the world's shortest cycling lanes appeared on Corporation Street opposite the JD Wetherspoon pub The Square Peg?@birmingham_live @CityLife_Bham @WMmetro @midlandtram @andy4wm pic.twitter.com/3qIculkHxR
