Bike North organised a "bike race" to show just how silly the proposed detour is. A group of hard-core racing types did the detour, while everyone else took the existing cycle lane. Times for the existing flat, straight line ranged from 8 minutes to 12 minutes for Phuong on her Vietnamese granny bike. The fastest racer over the detour came in 5 minutes later, 17 minutes for the "alternate route" despite going all out on a very fast bike. Conclusion: the detour is a sick joke.
