I don't mind bike lanes; we have some of those, and to be fair if you walk into one that's your own fault. But these guys are riding just anywhere on the path, so that it can become unsafe just to go for a bloody walk!
And Batlord, I'd rather have a rickety aluminium frame on wheels being outclassed and bullied by the traffic on the road than being superior to my soft, fleshy frame which can't even pitch me off it if I get hit. Anyway, they wear helmets don't they, or are supposed to? And most of them treat the road as if it's theirs in any case; seldom see a nervous cyclist. They just zip in and out between the traffic. Let them stay there: they're bloody TRAFFIC, and there's no room for them on the path. If I walk out on the road I can get hurt or even in trouble with the law, though we don't really have your jaywalking laws here. But it's frowned upon, mainly because IT'S A BLOODY STUPID THING TO DO...
