Default Liverpool riders.

To all those aware of Edge Lane. I made the mistake of choosing to go down there on a Saturday afternoon. Possibly the worse decision I have ever made!

It was just the time of day. Utter chaos. Lanes shut etc. It's only as I am new to the road really and don't want to dabble too much with filtering yet

Edge Lane? Right off the end of the M62 and down in to city centre no? Done that trip a few times in the past.

Had to drive (or rather sit and wait in the car for nearly half an hour) this week, was an absolute nightmare and wouldn`t use Edge Lane again by choice!

I went through there this week and it wasn't bad, filter to the front. I kicked a few of the traffic cones over a few inches at one set of lights and made myself a space. Don't ride in a car's blind spot and watch out for the surface changes, some car drivers jink left to right when that happens because they're muppets.

Edge Lane? Love it

It's great fun, go into town that way every day & just for fun come back home using the same road in the opposite direction. Even when it's down to one lane you can still make good progress down there.

Seriously, this is why you have a bike. Filter through the cars, get to the front & make progress. Just dont follow the morons on the scooters dashing down the coned off areas, that's just asking for a blue light to start flashing.

Anyway look on the bright side, all the cones go (allegedly) this Friday and dont come back till Jan 2nd.

Good to know you are using that bike now, hopefully you've got the parking sorted

Mike.
