Pinch points are a work of Stan. A 4m wide pinch point is not a pinch
point at all, but if there is a cycle bypass you are faced with an
unappealing choice of using the main carriageway and suffering
occasional harassment or using the bypass and entering a traffic stream
where drivers are not expecting you and will automatically assume
priority even if they do.

I think the best means to reduce vehicle speeds is to stop isolating
drivers from perceiving the people they place at risk - shared space, in
other words. Strict liability would also be a huge plus.

Hello Guy - who is this "Stan" - one of your mates in the CTC.

Have you got that letter yet?

What about identifying these people you say I have previously lied
about contacting?
