[QUOTE="Japes, post: 2428428, member: 277410"] Slumping quietly after a few days of walking a lot and reminding myself there is far more to my city than the 3 miles radius from my home for walking in. Finally made it into the city centre for the first time since early last March. It was nowhere near as busy as pre-pandemic school holiday afternoons would have been. I really did not expect to be able to keep moving around without crowd dodging so easily. I achieved both small shopping missions and then began the walk home the flattest route (it's a couple of miles longer than the most direct walking route home but much easier on legs which had already walked 10 miles) Except it's now become a bit of a walker's nightmare with the new cycle lanes. Which I'm very happy about, really, for the cyclists who are clearly using and appreciating it, but I ended up giving up after 45 minutes of less considerate cyclists still persisting in cycling at speed too close to me on the pavement, and getting on a bus to get clear of it all. To then discover my best pavement was being re-tarmac-ed (much needed and hooray!) without any notice I'd need to cross this busy main road (four car lanes, two cycle lanes) at least 400 metres before I knew I'd need to. I got a lot of sympathy from someone waiting at a temporary bus stop. Excellently beautiful blood sugars for the 18 hours post that walk... [/QUOTE]
