Thanks.  Interesting detective story.  It took me over and hour to

There's also a bicycle related connection that starts at "IS IT A

Are some old “bike friendly” steps etc with those in the vague area,
definitely something that requires someone to either have nice light bike
or be fairly large and strong!
