Cycle Highways? Cycle Super Highway

A typical mish-mash of ill-informed comments, seemingly well-meaning in that condescending sort of way that people can have who probably feel secure in what they perceive to be the majority opinion while somehow imagining they're being original and solving really pressing problems ...

FWIW, the digested viewing:

. Cycling is neither 'cheap' nor 'absolutely green'. On either count, the truth is more moderately attired.

. He is right to be concerned about footway cycling, but the conclusions he draws from this as to what ought to be done are the usual over-reaction.

. There are actually very few collisions arising from footway cycling.

. Cyclists are quite often insured.

  . A registration scheme would be a major disincentive to cycling and at any rate unworkable. ‘I remember the days when we used to register our dogs at the post office’. Killer argument.

. And eventually he lets the cat out of the bag and reveals what he really wants and what inspired the rest of this tosh--tax bicycles. Superb idea.

** The digested viewing, digested:**

You don't say.

In the guys defense, at least he wasn't demonising us like most of the media.
