Up and over - cycle barrier in Greenwich Park

This is just inside the Vanbrugh Gate of the park, where a new 'kissing gate' style cycle barrier had just been introduced. Cycling is permitted on the principal roads through the park but cyclists are supposed to dismount at the narrow gate onto Maze Hill. The new barrier achieved that aim but made matters difficult for cyclists, mothers with prams etc. It was removed after a few weeks following complaints by users.
