Perhaps these dangerous areas need to be looked at specifically, for those who less confident on the roads, rather than trying to take cyclists off the roads entirely
Thing is that this is exactly what HCC seem to be advocating anyway - the depiction of them as completely anti-infrastructure is a bit of a red herring. HCC 'management' as far as I can see have actually invited people to work with them, if they're unhappy, and to make site visits and suggest specific areas where they want to see new infrastructure. The problem is that people would rather whip up a Twitter campaign or write snide 'lol Trevor Parsons lol lol' comments on blogs rather than actually engage, and it's this in particular that gets my LFGSS-faux-outrage glands going.

@William.
The times when speed is safer are on busy roundabouts, and at narrow points on fast roads. It makes you alot more confident to be able to negotiate certain situations at the speed of the traffic. Perhaps these dangerous areas need to be looked at specifically, for those who less confident on the roads, rather than trying to take cyclists off the roads entirely.
