Commuting - Safely Does It
Unfortunately we in Britain are not as forward thinking as some of our northern European cousins. We lack the proper infrastructure here to make cycling a proper alternative to driving and any infrastructure that is in place tends to be piecemeal, disjointed and clearly designed by someone who wouldn’t know a sprocket from a crank. The end result is that if you want to get anywhere then you really have to be willing to cycle on the roads and share your journey with traffic.
