In Praise of the Tesco Approach

The Tesco superstore at Brislington must be near-unique in the high quality of its off-road approaches by bike or on foot.

True, approaching from Stockwood there are steps to be negotiated at the West Town crossing, but this could easily be corrected by shifting the path to the other side of the school. Cycling City like the idea, but it's doubtful whether there'll be enough time or money to do it.

Otherwise, there's a quiet, level, almost rural off-road route from every direction...

North....


South....


East....


and West.

Of course, once you get there you still have to navigate the car park, as with nearly every other store... but it must be worth it to reach the goodies inside.
