Dangerously Steep Wheeling Ramp
Those who can remember the Knife and Fork "Titanic" cafe (https://flic.kr/p/9NVHr) may recall there used to be a track that sloped down to the canal from the Bristol Road (https://goo.gl/maps/kWTsPvWfs6ckNg8V6). This wheeling ramp is what has replaced it. It is dangerously steep. I have tried it once, with my bike laden with shopping from the nearby Sainsbury's. I quickly ran into trouble, and nearly fell back down the steps. Fortunately someone stopped to help me, but even with two people it was very difficult pushing my bike up the steep ramp. This wasn't helped by the fact that the hand rail snags your bike, which of course has to be tilted over in an attempt to minimise this. To add insult to injury, the staircase goes up too far, so there are three steps down to get back to road level. These steps do not have a wheeling ramp. This disaster needs to be demolished and rebuilt.
