David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK.

I do wonder whether there would be so much protesting if this was for road widening / parking as opposed to a cycleway?
thehill was just joking and a dumb joke at that..
Anything a council does always costs far more than if an ordinary company did it . We do wonder it any of that money ends up in someone's pocket ....
Letting one's tyres down by a few PSI to get more comfort grip and speed won't sell more bikes though.
