A Sustrans dilemma
This coming weekend Sustrans celebrates "opening" 10,000 miles of cycle
routes in the first 10 years of their existence. As part of the celebrations there are four rides organised to Cambridge and subsequently a ride from Cambridge to Preston (Lancs). One of these rides passes within 100 metres of my house so it would seem churlish not to join them. However the Sustrans route is carefully chosen to include the nastiest junction and the most horrible road in the village in which I live (which is easily bypassed on a quiet road). It then progresses through four "Cyclists Dismount" signs in exactly one kilometre (5 in 2.5 km). And they haven't even reached Cambridge yet, where more horrors await. So, by joining in the ride am I endorsing the stupidities, or is it worth highlighting the really daft parts by not using them and sticking to the road? Mike |
