Coun Prodger, stop making me laugh (From Worcester News)

If sustainable travel is such a buzz-word for the Council at the moment, then why don't they divert a little bit of money into the development of some good, safe bike lanes?? And by that I don't mean the 10ft long, completely pointless bike lanes that seem to be popping up everywhere either!
.
They're not going to persuade anyone to ride to work with the roads in and around Worcester the way they are at the moment.
.
For example, I used to ride up and down The Tything on my way to and from work. Well, I did for about a week until the amount of cars and buses pulling out infront of me, and not giving anywhere near enough room when overtaking me persuaded me to find a route that was longer, but less risky!
.
Councillor Prodger - if you want to get more and more people on their bikes, then make it safer for them to do so. Make their journey to and from work pleasurable, instead of a dice with death!

If you're reading this, Councillor, and you want someone to be the guinea pig and test your cycle routes out, let me know and I'll be there in a flash, because it seems that whoever has been advising you lot on where to place the cycle lanes needs all the help they can get.
