Yes and no. I'm looking into local approaches but still insist that Public Footpaths throughout England are not for cyclists.
You're going to have to take my word for it.. but I was ready to end my interesting and valuable contribution to this thread until you said that.
Where did I say that cyclists cause trouble on roads, or at least any more trouble than minorities in any other group of road users? Some pedestrians cause trouble, some car drivers cause trouble, some goods drivers, some taxi drivers,..etc.,etc. Secondly, the number of uninsured drivers on the roads says nothing about anything other than the number of uninsured drivers on the roads. Being uninsured is stupid and criminal, but not necessarily an indication of poor driving.
And for the last time.. with feeling.. my point is not about cyclists on roads. It is about cyclists on footpaths.
I won't be troubling you further.
Peace.
