Cyclist do pay their fair share and the chances you will get seriously hurt or die while biking are actually pretty low. The latter should not be an excuse to seriously upgrade the infrastructure as many streets do not cater for less confident riders. Some streets in Christchurch do not even cater for more confident riders and will be avoided by most which does not help getting cycling numbers up.I biked home today riding on Blenheim Rd and Yaldhurst Rd in rush hour and although I consider myself a reasonable confident rider I am not going to do that too often. Why do cycle lanes disappear when you need them most?
