Yeah, that's my view: it's surprisingly safe to ride on a trunk A road, but I always feel that I'm in the way (I know I have as much right as any other road user but I still feel like they're having to avoid me), so I feel pressured to always ride full-tilt and it's not as much fun as a good track. It's not even as much fun as some dodgy gravel tracks, but I'd rather not have to use those either. I'll gladly defend the right of others to ride on carriageways, but it doesn't make my heart sing like a good country road or cycle track and I can't see it inspiring many people to get cycling. Cycling should be fun and easy.
