So if you stop doing what you need to be reasonably safe from law breaking motorists on the public highway, you are being bullied. That's just about summing the situation up. No wonder that so many potential cyclists just don't bother.
So what’s the solution?
* Complete replacement of our failed political system (that seems to be the cause of most of our current problems)?
* Acceptance that we need to cease population growth?
* Reduce availability of cheap credit in order to reduce the availability of cars?
* Sort out the police, who seem dysfunctional in so many areas, and with whom most people seem pretty dissatisfied?
From my perspective cycling has become more dangerous over the last two and a half decades, and a lot of this can be indirectly attributed to government policies and failings. Sticking up a few 20 mph discs isn’t going to address that, nor even start to.
Worth also adding that, like many things, this has all got worse since Covid.
Out of interest, have you cycled / do you cycle on roads?
