Fire Path in Hamiltonhill, with no cycle track. Cycling through this is illegal, and so is driving or parking a car!

Fire path (with bollards!), and gaps at side *may* be for cyclists to use, but no-one is sure. One is blocked by a bollard, and both frequently get blocked by parked cars in any case.
