mediumfast   10 #1465 Posted July 2, 2014 So how does The Champs Elyses compare with Burngreave?  The tour will still finish on The Champs- elysees! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Tommo68 Â Â 10 #1466 Posted July 2, 2014 Do us all a favour and take Tommo (we are all doomed ) 68 and Penistone (sad little man) 999 with you. Please dont come back. Â You really don't get it do you. Â Not we are all doomed, but someone just might be. Only selfish people would not care about that. Â There seem to be plenty of people that don't seem to care at all that other people are being, or might be, inconvenienced or distressed in order to allow them to have some pleasure. But I have now come to expect that on here. Â I realise a lot of people are being inconvenienced that's just common sense. It is my most sincere wish that no-one is distressed or delayed in getting to hospital because of the road closures and that the abilities of the emergency services will not be hampered in any way during that time. Â But if someone is adversely affected in anyway I do hope there is still some poetic justice in the world and that its one of the people that values their own pleasure over concern for others, rather than anyone else. .

Squiggs   11 #1468 Posted July 2, 2014 You really don't get it do you. Not we are all doomed, but someone just might be. Only selfish people would not care about that.  Your concern is valid, after all the Tour de France is a brand new event and the organisers haven't ever done anything like this in cities, ever!  Oh wait...

Verdan   10 #1469 Posted July 2, 2014 Is the route signposted does anyone know? Especially from Hillsborough onwards  Yes it is.  However I warn all people in Sheffield that the tour has already started. Or at least the "pro cyclists" are already out and about getting ready and I have to say I'm not impressed.  As the face of cycling in Yorkshire you might have thought they would at least wait for red traffic lights and stay on the correct side of the road, but no. I had to watch out for two guys at i was driving on Brightside Lane this afternoon. One appeared from behind a bush while my traffic light was green, and his mate was on the wrong side of the road directly in front of me.  Yes I do cycle, yes i drive a car, yes i'm planning on watching the tour go past my house and yes the closures are a nightmare, if not only for the fact they shut almost every road from 7am despite the race not coming through until 4pm, thus causing everyone to get there early, or face the M1 nightmare.

NightFlight   10 #1472 Posted July 2, 2014 Maybe that's why they cut most of sheffield off from the hospital. .  But they haven't... The hospital is still accessible by ANYONE albeit via a longer route (Fox Hill will be cut off from vehicular access, not NGH) Emergency vehicles will have access at all times  "Organisers will be working closely with all the emergency services throughout the event to ensure that access is given to vehicles on blue lights as a priority throughout the road closures." http://letour.yorkshire.com/the-grand-d%C3%A9part-2014/faq Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Rob_1   10 #1476 Posted July 2, 2014 Why would I want to do that? In fact no need to reply because I couldn't care less what people think.  Yes this bike thingy might promote Sheffield, but for me I couldn't care less about it  ---------- Post added 01-07-2014 at 23:31 ----------   Well I can't be the only one that doesn't give a toss about it  But you clearly do give a toss because you're posting in here. If you didn't give a toss you wouldn't even open the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
