Paddy Monaghan took it upon himself this Wednesday, June 5 to show how the cycle lane was totally blocked off to cyclists because of the vans and cars parked all along it.
Over the past few days, other Twitter users have been posting images and videos of various spots around the city where cycle lanes are inaccessible, using the hashtag #FreeTheCycleLanes.
