The Sustrans bid does appear to be the only one that's actually national, too. So it seems like a likely candidate to be chosen - certainly it appears to be the only one with any intention of visiting Scotland and Wales.
Plus, even though 'career' cyclists aren't likely to use the facilities, it's not about us. It's about the 2.4 children and their parents going for a walk/ride in the countryside at the weekend without having to deal with traffic.
The London Freewheel was a horrible exercise in frustratingly slow cycling around some grim parts of London, but the kids loved it and the parents seemed relieved to be able to relax a bit.
