The old cycle lane on the pavement was installed in about 2004 as part of the NCN2, however in summer 2021 it was relocated onto the road by making the road one-way and removing some parking.

The one on the pavement was mostly 2.5m wide, and the new one is upto 4.3m wide, with the majority of it being over 3.5m wide.

A259 cycle lane summer 21.jpg
Installed during the initial covid lockdowns, a westbound traffic lane was replaced by a temporary cycle lane which has remained. Eastbound cyclists still remain using the existing cycle track. Brighton & Hove Council hope to replace the A259 length of the NCN 2 with a fit for purpose track incorporating a bi-directional cycle track
King's Esplanade - Geograph - 1142714.jpg
King's Esplanade Passing the southern end of the King Alfred Leisure Centre. The complex had been expected to be demolished by now and building to start on a revolutionary Frank Gehry design but a mixture of regard actions by those against the plan followed by the current credit crisis meant they were all but abandoned in November 2008. Taken just after sunrise, the sun was viewed briefly but had now climbed high enough to be obscured by the clouds.
