A city in Cyprus got some surprises when it hired a company to paint a bike trail.

Residents of Limassol found their new red cycling route a little difficult (and unsafe) to follow, reports Knews Kathimerini.

The painted path made twists and turns around obstacles like trees and parked cars, at one point crowding pedestrians off a sidewalk, reports Knews Kathimerini.

Authorities were still investigating the work, which was performed by a private company rather than public works staff.

No clear answers but Limassol mayor says bike path mess will be rectified https://t.co/OnEsmGToQu

People were sharing photos of the quirky paint job via social media.

These are the new bike lines in Limassol, Cyprus. I think they can receive an award for creativity ?https://t.co/1UL4ts4TZIhttps://t.co/yWfoHA7S0q
