Went to the farm shop this morning as we are short of veg and salad and other stuff only I eat!
Anyway - one of the people who run it was chatting at a distance with some old bloke about the new cycle path
basically they are spending all this money on ths stupid cycle path that NOBODY ever uses and now the road is so damn narrow that is is pretty much useless and anyway these cyclists aught to pay road tax - £100 a year seems about right - and they need insurance and
etc etc
I presume they both read the Daily Mail
apart from the the old trope of the 'road tax and insurance" and all that
The road in question has not just had a cycle path added - it has been totally redesigned with 2 junction being totally redone and converted to major traffic light controlled junctions
And the road is pretty wide with the cycle path one of those shared ones on the side - so it doesn;t narrow the road at all
and it seems to have been done due to a new housing project nearby which can be expected to increase traffic in teh area
so - basically - they were talking total whatsit
I hate it when people talk carp like that but you are not in a position to correct them
Oh - and on top of that - I have only ridden on it 3 or 4 times - but every time I have come across other cyclists!!!
Think I need to go and have a cuppa and do Wordle
a bright and fresh day but not too cold. Went for my usual amble which is a circular walk along the river Brora to the mouth, pick up some seaweed along the beach and back home via the golf course. Some terns flew over which looked great against the blue sky
