Point taken about the cycle rails. I do not believe our cycling friends had great problems before , I had wondered why they were there.
This bridge is for pedestrians , no problem with cyclist using but priority should be for the main user. Afterall cyclist could get to other side via Sydenham Rd or Waldran Rd in about 5 mins max, pedestrians about 20 to 25 mins .
I know not so many German's about now but cannot get used to calling it anything else.
