I don’t cycle for pleasure but only as a means of getting from A to B.

I have recently made several journeys from Oliver’s Battery to Hyde.

I would never choose to use Romsey Road as a cyclist is too disruptive to other traffic.

There are alternative and safe routes through Badger Farm and St Cross.

However, once near the city centre, it’s not so easy.

I just wonder if the city council has ever considered cycle routes.

Is being “green” just something that is talked about at COP but without any action?
