YOU won't get wet while waiting for your bus, but you could get hit by an oncoming cyclist.

Situated in Grove Road, Wantage, this cycle lane is highlighted on Warrington Cycle Campaign's website as one of 60 examples of bafflingly designed cycle facilities in the UK.

The bus shelter is literally in the middle of a cycle path.

Richard Lehman, Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire Right to Ride representative, compared it to putting a decorative concrete boulder in the middle of a motorway.

He said: "It just doesn't make sense. This, and similar idiocies, just take your breath away.

"Engineers need to learn there are times when you just have to say, this is not on. For that reason, Oxfordshire cycling groups have been pressing the council to invest in training for engineers on creating cycling facilities.

"No one is trying to make things hard for cyclists, it's just stupidity."

The website also features a cycle lane in Bardwell Road, Oxford, a few metres of which cars are not permitted to park in. Cyclists have to weave in and out of the cars parked on either side of the stretch.

Commenting on the Grove Road cycle lane, Oxfordshire County Council senior transport planner Craig Rossington said: "Clearly the location of this shelter isn't quite right."
