South Gloucestershire bollards: who are the subversives?

Yesterday, we showed photographs of militant cyclists taping reflective strips to camouflaged bollards by the MOD Abbeywood site. Today we see some more photographs, showing hi-viz tape going up too!



Like we said, we don't suspect anyone associated with the Bristol Cycling Campaign to have done this, as S Gloucs council has a process for dealing with those people:

  1. There is a monthly cycling forum, to which the activist cycle and the area's cycling advocate drives.
  2. The cycling campaigners complain while the council staff nod and draw doodles on their notepads.
  3. The campaigners' complaints get ignored.
  4. The council staff drive home to their nice houses, laughing.
  5. The cyclists pedal home in the rain, wondering what went wrong.
No, this was done by criminals out there, acting without control, without checks and balances, without morals. 

Who could it be?


According to the anonymous supplier of the photographs it was the People's Cycling Front of South Gloucestershire

They are not to be confused with the South Gloucester Popular Cycling Front, who was shopping at the Sainsbury's superstore nearby at the time.

We are disappointed that such clearly dangerous people could get close to an MoD site without being arrested.

Have any other subversives been taking to the street in our fair city, harassing motorists, taxi and lorry drivers on their important missions, parents trying to get their children to school by car safely, street designers trying to improve the streets for all these people? Reporting of such outrages to the Bristol Traffic site are welcome, so we can document the fall of our city into lawlessness.
