The BBC looks at the opening of London's first bicycle "superhighway" and discovers (no prizes) that it's useless.What's interesting here is a comment from "Geoff", site visitor, who points out that Milton Keynes has purpose-built cycle lanes that are separate from the roads so that motor and pedal never meet. Without realising it, Geoff has hit upon the solution: Send all those spandex-clad pillocks and their over-priced, titanium-framed navigation hazards to that collection of architectural atrocities known as Milton Keynes and leave honest motorists and pedestrians in peace.
Cyclists and Milton Keynesians can sort out for themselves who is a punishment visited upon whom.

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
