The Valentine bridge -
apparently so named on February 14th -
literally snakes across Bristol's Floating
Harbour amidst a newly developed area of
office and residential buildings behind
Temple Mead Station. The cable-stayed
bridge was designed to serve pedestrians
but, as you can see from my photographs, is
also used by cyclists. A review of
articles in Bristol newspapers seems to show
that there has been something of a
controversy over the use of bicycles.
Barriers were erected to encourage riders to
dismount and walk their bikes over the
bridge but there seems to have been a change
of mind after complaints were registered.
