I suspect a local councillor has shares in a bollard company.

It would make an amazing location to do mega cats cradle.

cecallihelper.bsky.social•87 days ago

Why so many on the interior and not just as a barrier to the road? Thaat's so overkill and potentially dangeorus. Cyclist maneuverability constrained.

neilhoskins.bsky.social•87 days ago

Cyclists shouldn't be on the pavement. IIRC, these were installed to deter the flocks of Chelsea-tractor-drivers picking up and dropping off outside a school.

cecallihelper.bsky.social•87 days ago

Is there a law that prevents cyclists from riding in areas blocked off by bollards?

sminkypinky.bsky.social•7 days ago

You aren't meant to cycle on pavements as an adult. If it's allowed there will be a split lane for cyclists.

cecallihelper.bsky.social•7 days ago

So, where are cyclists supposed to ride if not on pavement?

sminkypinky.bsky.social•7 days ago

In the road. This is England.

Bollywood?

democracythirst.bsky.social•88 days ago

Those people are driving on the wrong side of the road!

thebigredape.bsky.social•87 days ago

Councillors are, by definition, all utter wankers

suchnothing.bsky.social•87 days ago

Curbs? Weak. Unsightly. A tripping hazard. Bollards? 😘👌

I am more intrigued by these two red poles that are perhaps meant to indicate some special reason for the building to be protected, possibly keeping the potential vehicle IED away?

stevewilliams87.bsky.social•88 days ago

Why are there so many lol?

worldbollardassoc.bsky.social•88 days ago

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

stevewilliams87.bsky.social•88 days ago

I love bollards!

stinavil.bsky.social•7 days ago

They are obviously a very social species although they often have to stand alone or with just one friend🤔

doctoroctothorpe.bsky.social•88 days ago

If you go fast enough on your bicycle, it's like the Death Star trench run. Particularly at night.

"Lock S-foils in attack position."

ramalina.bsky.social•7 days ago

I was thinking of a slalom race

macintosh54.bsky.social•16 days ago

Did they get many vehicles driving along there necessitating this

oryant.bsky.social•7 days ago

Less driving more parking I imagine

spyke453.bsky.social•7 days ago

Love it, Bristol Road on way into Birmingham, last ditch attempt to stop the insane school drop off parking that used to bring everything to a halt. #WorldBollardAssociation

cscotty00.bsky.social•7 days ago

It was so absurd I thought it might be an AI vid.

spyke453.bsky.social•7 days ago

cscotty00.bsky.social•7 days ago

On the brightside you guys are ready for the Russian tanks eh

dorght.bsky.social•88 days ago

They should be red and blue to be a proper slalom run.

stuartjackson9.bsky.social•88 days ago

That would’ve also been more fun for the kids coming out of school too

torqueback.bsky.social•88 days ago

I want to go to there…

gromitroberts.bsky.social•7 days ago

What's the collective noun for a group of bollards?

seigneurao.com•7 days ago

This screams "we have let car owners become entitled to think that the whole world is theirs", more than anything else I've ever seen in my life.

profdavidmorley.bsky.social•88 days ago

Glad am I to find my beloved Bollard Association on this stage. Not be confused with the Lollard Associations of the late 1370s and early 1380s.

worldbollardassoc.bsky.social•88 days ago

Leave the jokes to us please Dave.

profdavidmorley.bsky.social•87 days ago

The price is a follow, Boll.

tamathatsme.bsky.social•88 days ago

The bollard harvest is good this year.

subtlefire.bsky.social•82 days ago

and they in turn harvest many BMWs

tamathatsme.bsky.social•82 days ago

Nature is returning to carparks.

sillycentrist.bsky.social•88 days ago

As a cyclist, that is absolutely terrifying. 'Gonna get your knees! Gonna get your handlebars. Gonna getcha, getcha, getcha!'

captaineurope.bsky.social•87 days ago

I was thinking it’s an effective sobriety test for cyclists.

ramalina.bsky.social•7 days ago

And a really fun slalom racetrack!

jakwilde.bsky.social•85 days ago

Big road on the right for the fast wheeled types. Wheelchair users would be dialling back the power unit.

kevinmagoo72.bsky.social•88 days ago

When you think that each one of those bollards used to be a cannon off a tall-ship. Faak.

hex.ooo•87 days ago

Um... these were made in a factory producing road furniture, like all bollards have been for the last century or so

kevinmagoo72.bsky.social•87 days ago

That's crazy talk. Tall ships.

kevinmagoo72.bsky.social•88 days ago

You'll have heard this a thousand times already, of course.

mr-beryllium.bsky.social•87 days ago

Needs more bollard

fcgermelshausen.bsky.social•88 days ago

Nicely anti-car but ugly af for pedestrians. Grass and trees would have been better.

ramalina.bsky.social•7 days ago

Fun for cyclists though!

emyrderfel.bsky.social•88 days ago

They'll park on grass.

jimbob-a.bsky.social•88 days ago

Exactly, if I remember right this was a council's desperate measure to stop idiot parents parking on the pavement directly outside a school for drop off, which blocked resident access and endangered those walking to school
