Simply connected covering space

765 Views Asked by At

"Find an example of a path connected, locally path-connected space which does not have a simply connected covering space". I was reading hatcher and he gives an example of shrinking wedge of circles, and in exercise 5 he mentioned the comb space ,both being spaces with no simply connected covering space, but these two spaces are not locally path connected, so can anyone help me in this ?
