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.

Why waste public money on a small minority of road users?

Perhaps speed humps and a 20 mph limit would do the trick -
certainly a cheaper alternative to a segregated Dutch style cycle
track.

An even cheaper alternative would be to have a sign erected saying "Do
not use children's toys on this road - it was designed for viable forms
of transport."
