Some say £3 per head of the population is too little.

"The CTC Chief Executive Paul Tuohy reiterated the organsation's call
for the equivalent of at least £10 per person per year to be spent on
cycling."

"The Government recently published evidence showing that investing in
cycling delivers over £5 of health and other benefits for every £1 spent."

A £5 return for every £1 spent seems to me a good use of tax payers
money - to me anyway.


I think it is quite reasonable: as long as the money comes from the
registration fee and annual tax on cyclists to enable them to use the
facilities.



I seem to remember ome psycholist saying there were 250 million bikes in
the uk, so if the owners put in a quid for each one that they own, the
money will be found easily.
