Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Entrance on to the footbridge on the north side of the A55 The sign advising cyclists to dismount brings a smile. Welsh has no single word for "dismounting". "Dod oddi ar y beic" (come off the bike) would be the colloquial way of expressing it. However, the pedants insist on using "disgyn". Unfortunately, in every day usage, "disgyn" means "to fall off" - so that the sign advises the cyclist that this is "the spot to fall off the bicycle". However, there have been even worse attempts at conveying the order as the following link shows:
