Map of cycling routes around Homorod
The roads and the drainage have been improved, but a shared-use path would really help - Rupea and Homorod aren't far apart.
A shared-use path of less than a kilometre would provide a safe link between Homorod and Rupea

Via Transilvanica markers in the centre of Richiș
I'm not sure why the Via Transilvanica markers are on the direct route from Richiș to Biertan (quiet as it is) when there are parallel paths,
Bridge from the Biertan-Richiș road to an even quieter parallel road.
Mountain biking route from Biertan down into Richiș, marked by blue crosses.
The official mountain biking route from Richiș to Biertan (actually mostly on virtually traffic-free asphalt) continues south for half a mile then doubles back - but there's a short cut to the left here.

This old hiking route (marked with white/red/white stripes) has also been designated as a cycling (ie MTB) route - position very approximate.

[Image taken 24.3.23] Hawthorn Terrace (the Folk Hall is on the left in the distance), New Earswick, York. A hole, patched - uneven - tarmac and loose gravel. The latter is a hazard for all two-wheeled road users - engine or human powered.

192223 There is frequent parking on double yellow lines here which reduces visibility and makes it very dangerous for children crossing the road to get to school. Increase patrol around drop-off time
192222 Parking close to junctions here makes it dangerous for cycle users on the road as cars need to pull out into the road for visibility, where they can hit cyclists. Increase the use of double yellow lines
192221 The cycle path that goes up Thornpark rise runs out here. The pavement is wide and could easily be duel use to avoid interaction between cars and bikes
192200 Walking route needed through the station car park as the path by the back of Kwik Fit is overgrown, not overlooked and dark.
192199 The footpath all along here from the new houses is too narrow and overgrown to walk along as cars speed past.
192198 Footpath needs improving as it makes it hard to safely cross to Macknade and out into the countryside.
192183 Cars are parked on one side at all times. Bottleneck at peak hours as it becomes a one-way road. Please widen this road (from 2 to 3 lanes) or put a double yellow line. A temporary traffic light at peak times would also help. Cars can then get out of this junction safely. Right now, cars must skid and needle through the busy main road traffic from both ways to join it. Accidents are bound to happen.
192160 Timing of signal for cyclists going between Hyde Park/William St is awful. Lots of waiting even when people could go.
192124 Fatal collision Jeep and cyclist.

192117 Allow bike parking on the street with bike racks
192116 Stop pavement parking. Parking should only be allowed on one side of Nutgrove Avenue.
192115 Widen pavement and prevent car parking, road is very thin and narrow with parked cars, too many close passes of cars driving too fast.
