I have seen some fairly ordinary cycling facilities but few as bad as
those.
(They have obviously mined the famous "cycling facility of the month"
website for the pics)
The "A frame" seems particularly awful! (For an upright anyway, a 2
wheel 'bent, especially a low-racer wouldhave no problems...)

The old fashioned style is much more comfortable in normal clothing,
and generally easier for a commuter. But they cost a packet here as
the cheap bikes are all pretending to be for sport. As if the only
cars you could buy were imitation Ferraris or imitation Army
Landrovers unless you were willing to spend 30 grand.
