General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Peter, the cycle lanes are not causeing traffic chaos and polution, the cars are, In my view , there are not enough cycle lanes yet and the ones we have do not go far enough, Let me give you an example,
Today i went on a bike ride to Buscough, From my house, I can get on the shared pavement to the round about at the new A49 junction, Then there is a useless chalked cycle lane down Warrington road, which is useless because, cars park in it, then there is the famous saddle cycle lane system which is excellent from the saddle to the junction to the Red Robin pub on Robin Park Road, After that its roads only, So on that 30 mile round trip to Buscough, There is 2 miles of cycle lane and shared pathways, the rest is roads, So a new cyclist who has little or no confidence on roads can only do 2 miles and because most of that is shared pathway, you get many, ( I'm not moving for a bike) minded people who snarl at us,
