Bike lane markings in a UK town have been bizarrely placed in the middle of the road.
''But when the road is empty it looks like the council wants people just to cycle down the middle of the road, which doesn't seem very safe!''
Local residents in Arlesey, Central Bedfordshire, were stunned to see bicycle symbols painted in the unusual position that seemed to suggest cyclists should be riding in the middle of the road.
Pete Hollands - who has lived in the town for 21 years - told the Biggleswade Chronicle: ''I'm a fitness trainer and a keen cyclist myself so I'm always in favour of improving routes and access for bicycles. But these signs are very strange - some of the time there are cars parked on either side of the road so they don't look too bad then.

Pete believes local council workers were forced to paint the symbols in the middle of the road because there were parked cars on the side of the road.
