did you read the link I provided..?
I lived in Exmouth and Exeter for 37 years.. the road in question is not one that I would ever ride along..
It is fast and it can barely carry the rate of motorised vehicles that it is expected to at rush hour and is too narrow and undulating along much of it to allow safe overtaking.. we’re not talking congested city centre here.. this is a semi-rural suburban link road
The new Sustrans route is good.. well thought out and long overdue.. it effectively now enables many normal cyclists to commute that would otherwise not have been able to..
And after much campaigning it was paid for out of the taxes of East Devon and Exeter residents.. very few of whom are regular cyclists..
so it must seem like a bit of a snub when some unnecessarily stubborn and foolhardy cyclists still choose to use the hazardous old crossing..
what has this got to do with by-passes..?
the ranting radio bloke is a nob with a bad turn of phrase but he has a very valid point..
it upsets me that so many folk on here have such a narrow focus that they will automatically back the cyclists without actually considering the whole picture..
it’s a type of insanity and not something that I feel proud to be associated with..
believe it or not, sometimes people that use a different mode of transport to us can be correct too..
