  • I think the real issue is the British aversion to properly surfaced cycle paths. Elsewhere in Europe it is quite common for cycle paths to be appropriately surfaced with tarmac, because tarmac is, well, pretty much the best surface for tyres really.

    But as we have an aversion to "tarmacking over the countryside" in Britain the paths have to be covered in gravel or stone chips so that they are "in keeping". An aversion which everyone seems to forget about when it comes to building roads for cars, which must always be tarmac because anything else would be ridiculous, right?

    I think you're right though Oliver a lot of cycle paths do presume MTB use.
