Took a rural ride on Friday, a route I've done many times over the last sixty or so years, but not in about ten years.
With the amount of motor traffic; cars, SUVs, vans, trucks & HGVs, on said route, it's really brought home how much the increase in dormitory villages & rural industrial sites over the last twenty or so years has marred what used to be a very pleasant jaunt here and in other places.
However, at the beginning of the ride as I was egressing the city, I was in the cycle lane of the main road and was suddenly presented with the sight of two nifty young ladies heading towards me on roller skates - !
