Road closed to bikes only near Ace Café

[CaNsA]

Oh for fuck sake, I enjoyed going there on a Friday night as it made a change to drinking, but what about the quads and cars that do burn outs etc aswell?

This was a long time coming, especially after the bottle the got put through the police cars window the other night, I'll dig out the photo...

What a great comment from someone

[Clutchy]

Also can you really just close a road for bikes? Suppose you can for cars etc so I guess its possible.

What happens if you go down there anyway?

It's a road near the ace cafe. Not the one at the ace cafe.

It's basically near the hospital and industrial part.

Can still go ace.

So let me get this straight;
Nimbys are up in arms about 'all the bludy Bikers' & moan at the council.
Council moan at the coppers.

Coppers fail to 'remove' the problem, by turning out in large numbers, and harassing the bikers; let alone banging them all up for ALL of these illegally noisy machines and dangerouse riding antics, under statutory road laws.

So coppers go to the courts and get 'Dispersal orders'.... to prevent people gathering..... Fail to effect disired outcome of making all the bikers piss off with them either...

So council... by some dint of the TRO legislation for roads maintenence, or by by-law.... impose a traffic restriction making it illegal for BIKES ONLY to go down a certain road......

So... if the bikers were breaking the law to begin with.... and that remains in doubt..... they are hardly likely to be further deturred by a 'No Bike' sign!

And if coppers cant get proper convictions for REAL crimes like speeding or dangerouse driving.......

Oh! No... the new law means that a bike only has to BE there.....

RIGHT... now I get it.

Then end of a very nasty wedge this one.....

Why that road? Have I been missing some stunting? Every time I've been to the ace the people have been riding around outside the front of the ace itself.

As far as I can tell, Rainsford Road isn't even on the same side of the North Circ as the Ace.

It looks like an industrial estate on Google Maps. Seems a bit pedantic, really.

I could sort of maybe a little bit understand a really heavily built up road with a school crossing on it or whatever. It'd still be ridiculously harsh and Political Correctness Gone Mad and whatever.

But that place? Surely that's where you want the troublemakers, far away from kittens? There's a hospital... but so what? Ambulance drivers are highly trained, right?

So if cars where doing the same 'disruptive driving' in the area, they would i presume ban cars - i.e lets say 90-95 percent of what uses the road, from using the road to be fair and non discriminatory... right ?

Never been there before, but now that it has been banned, I want to

It's past the petrol station on the left when you come off the a406

It's not the ace people were complaining about it was there.

Very quite roads with loads of mini roundabouts.

Loads of people would drag or race down there. Was pretty cool actually

[j.silvs]

And Cansa, some people actually presumed it was the ace cafe road!
Even speaking to some people on Friday suggests most people thought ace cafe was a no go

So was merely highlighting a fact

[TheDonUK]

How will this be enforced?

Police/Camera Presence 100% of the time?

A sign by the road, which will get knocked over... ?

Ace Cafe could be very fun on Friday during the summer as a biker, but I see why residents would be unhappy. Not everyone likes noise and sometimes the bikers would create a lot of traffic.

However the road blocked isn't the Ace Cafe one.

I'm pretty certain this sort of prohibition is more-or-less entirely unenforceable.

I'm inclined to hare up and down it out of principle now.

You still got the Cub multijoy? If so, i'll race you on mine around roundabouts to see what happens
