An item in the editorial column of the Press & Journal yesterday.
Difficult to know what to say!

Is there any truth in it? Suspect the answer may be no - in which case you could have fun demolishing some of the assertions....
Also - who is the cycle path designed for - possibly schoolchildren, who may otherwise be at risk of obesity etc.?

Unfortunately I cannot comment with the benefit of local knowledge. I did write to the editor some time ago on the pro car policy of that particular newspaper, he replied with the rudest letter I have ever seen, I should have framed it.

Trouble is, the paper probably isn't so far wrong. Most cycle farcilities are an utter waste of time and money. I live somewhere with probably one of the best cycle path networks there is, and even some of ours are purest pants.

I have written pointing out that, faced with a driver turning right across one and its consequent effect on my sphincter muscle, Pampering seems a pretty good idea to me

Do a youtube video, hold the letter up to the camera and give a "faceless" commentary on it.
