The pavements will still be open, so bikes should be ok.

There's no such thing as a rat run, just roads that car drivers can legally use unless specifically prohibited by law.

how come that they can get a main road closed for three hours.presumably a move by the likes of merritt and d agorne to stick one to the car drivers of york.look at all the little used side streets of bishy road down in the clementhorpe area.why not use those.
I went along, it was great. Good atmosphere, lots of people smiling and laughing. It was a party.
It was nothing to do with idiotic road politics or merrett or whoever the next hate figure is, it was just a party, it was about fun.
Lighten up you miserable beggars!

I always think it looks a nice road with a good mix of shops. I'm jealous of the people in the area! I noticed all the bunting but didn't see any notices at all about the road being closed and I drive along there every day. Presumably there were some?
