| No, Nigel hit the nail on the head when he brought u the mandatory use of cycle lanes in Germany. When the complaints from you are all about careless drivers putting cyclists in peril then surely using the segregated lanes provided - at s cost of £500,000 per kilometre - should be compulsory. But then you might have to stop and exercise some caution when turning off, which is what most other road users have to do. If you want cyclists to have equal rights then there’s a trade off in responsibility. And cycling isn’t that popular. It’s a leisure activity, not a regular mode of transport for most. We’ve discussed this before and there are myriad reasons why people don’t or won’t cycle. Not that I expect you paid attention before. |
