My point is not to force ALL cyclists to use back streets, merely to encourage the use of them where applicable.
Previous comment about mugging is also interesting, we've created some nice traffic free ghettos for the ambushing of the lone traveller.
If NIMBYs don't like cars going down their precious residential streets, then why do they own them? Break down the barriers, I say. If reducing vehicular traffic isnt going to happen then open up what roads we do have to all. Except HGVs.
And minicabs.
And dancing James.
