And some of us ride the roads round here regularly, dellers old bean...

Care to tell us which the parallel roads are then dellers?

Is this a new game? You tell us where you want to go, and we'll find you a route.

the real issue is that all forms of motoring are subsidised by general taxation:

It's a serious question, although I appreciate there may not be a definitive answer.

Thanks

I'd rather just educate them on how to behave around cyclists; regardless of who pays for the roads!

0.0000000000000000000%.

They waste money on 'facilities' of varying awfulness but none of it actually makes us safer as there is the knock on effect of drivers expecting us to be taken off 'their' road.
