Is it not high time that our elected representatives stood up to the frenzied and hugely expensive cycling lobby? 99% of us do not own bicycles, have no wish to own them and do not want to ride them. I have one but find it dirty in use,eminently vulnerable to theft, inherently dangerous and totally impractical in our rainy climate. The craze will die and we shall be left with miles of daft, unused cycle lanes. We shall then doubtless be urged to save the planet by visiting Sainsbury's on donkeys.
