Next your bike & a swing bridge
That is a lift bridge, not a swing bridge.
To me it’s a bridge that moves …… and iirc mr grande cheese Reedham has a chain ferry thing for the crossing but haven’t been there in any time recent I can remember

Game still open for anyone else then I guess ??

Does it really have to swing both ways to be acceptable?

Pun intended.

Reedham does have a chain ferry, but it also has a railway bridge that rotates near the pub (I think, last time I saw it was 1990)

And now I'm tempted to go and have a look tomorrow

Thats why i never knew about it as its a rail bridge and i have only ever used the ferry crossing...... i wouldnt want to spoil a trip out but google maps suggests its still there ;)

I would have met you there for a brew but I already have promised plans with my new grandkids tomorrow

Trowse swing bridge is an option for East Anglians but not sure that actually swings either? May be an 'in and out' type but is called a swing still.....

As my bike is subject to Federal regulations, I guess I could just post a pic of my bike in any location... right? Or maybe next to a crashed bicycle?
This pic may be in a National Park..which were founded by Pres Wilson... (altho I think this is actually a State Park)
