Saw part of the program on BBC2 tonight.

The police were called to an accident on the A10 - at night - thought to
be
involving a cyclist.

As the officer said - the A10 is an unlit dual carriage way with no street
lights and fast traffic - it is not place for cyclists.

I quite agree.

Perhaps, then, the authorities will think about making it safe for
cyclists. Perhaps speed humps and a 20 mph limit would do the trick -
certainly a cheaper alternative to a segregated Dutch style cycle
track.

Yes, your thinking as usual is as long as it doesn't put the cyclists to any
inconvenience or expense. Perhaps a segregated Dutch style cycle track
should be built by private industry, and the expense recouped by charging
cyclists a toll,in a similar fashion to other schemes that motorists partake
in like the Birmingham expressway, Dartford crossing, Severn bridge et al.

Hang on- that would mean cyclists paying for what they use, wouldn't it? You
wouldn't like that, would you? - Perhaps a cheaper alternative would have
been for the cyclist to buy F*****g lights for his bike, and have given
himself half a chance!
