Ice cream vans cause meltdown
Sigrid the cycling cat may have exposed the limits of enforcement!
Chimes playing Greensleeves. Parents and children lining up to buy a Fab or a soft cornet, preferably topped with a Flake (well, who can resist a 99?). Ice cream vans are a colourful symbol of summer guaranteed to raise a smile. That is, unless, you are a cyclist trying to cross Westminster Bridge. Ice cream vans have been illegally parking on the bridge this summer, their customers blocking the dedicated cycle paths. The problem was flagged up by cyclist Travis Nelson, who travels with his deaf cat Sigrid in a front basket. Nelson videoed himself trying to use the cycle path. “Cycling through there is a complete nightmare when the ice cream van is parked up on the double red lines,” he said.
