Loads of them round here......mostly wearing ski masks and with electric bikes going as fast as a ferrariThose silly "bike only" zones are for vulnerable road users.
It’s absolutely crazy. We have developers trying to build houses and light industrial/commercial units very close to land that regularly floods. We have practically zero public transport. The developer last time round offered a community mini bus ! Our wonderful county council, in its plans, wants to develop transport hubs around just three of four towns - but never fear, we’ve been offered a fucking cycle lane to the next large village 3 miles away. In nearby Oxfordshire you’re driving through big stretches of quiet semi rural roads at 20 mph !Councils were given ring-fenced money for these bike schemes (which seem to annoy so many people) by the central government. The money could not be used for anything else.
So blame central government. It's one of the Green issues the Tories had in their manifesto for the last-but-one GE. But most people were so fixated by Brexit they didn't notice the other stuff. And about 1% of the population have even a vague idea of how local government funding works. (Clue - most of it does not come from your council tax, some services are mandatory, and some funding is ring-fenced and can only be spent on one thing. It's a bit like a benefactor giving you £500, but requiring you to spend it on decorating your back bedroom, even though your roof is leaking and you can't pay the gas bill.)
Those bikes are those that have been tampered with are a danger to all. One almost cut me in two as I was crossing the road last summer. I know The Met have done some Op and took a lot out of operation because the genuine E-bike mechanics had been tampered with.Loads of them round here......mostly wearing ski masks and with electric bikes going as fast as a ferrari
