I was in agreement with you and a little sad when they paved the Ditchling Road path and Woodingdean - Falmer path. They were such a nice gravel tracks to ride on.
But since then my better half came along on her cargo bike, I took my cargo bike, the kids took bike/scooter and they wouldn't have on the gravel track. There's plenty of fun to be had on the downs and linking places with nice smooth tracks is only going to encourage more cycling.

I'm all for better cycling infrastructure but I really love the path Lewes to Rodmell and wouldn't want it paved, or changed, personally. I ride it every few weeks with two kids who also love it, and I'm on a cargo bike. If I was using it for commuting I might feel differently – otherwise I feel like this is a cycle path I'd like to see more of. Each to their own!
