I'm not basing my decision on the incidents.
More that, why would anyone want to cycling on a busy duel carriageway, when there are perfectly nice other roads.At the same time as banning cyclists (and other slow moving traffic), they should also be banning fast moving traffic from certain roads, and reducing town centres to 20mph.
It's not just about time trialling on fast roads.
I'd never ride on the E2 not in an event.
That said, some single carriageway courses are more dangerous than doubles. And a lot of people for +60mph and then there are lots of blind corners.

Why would people cycle anywhere there are cars? Ban bikes from one road it's easier to ban them from others. Eventually all you're left with is shitty B roads and sparse segregated paths or mountain biking and no one wants that.
I often choose dual carriageways to ride on because they're the quickest most direct way to get from town A to town B. Why should I now be banned from using the roads my taxes pay for? It's bad enough I'm not allowed to use Motorways - they'd really help my travel times.
"In the interests of road safety... " they're banning bikes. That's arse about.
hippy
Rubbish.

Why don't they ban cars?
