They get lots of stick from business owners apparently who resent the parking spaces near that are taken away by cycle ways. Apparently the big argument is that cyclists will cycle regardless so shouldn’t be supplied with dedicated paths. I certainly cycle more now that the paths are there and it’s important to make sure our voices are heard to. Thanks for a great article, was just the prompting I needed. Maybe a letter to the editor too.
