Altercations will occur however but don't exaggerate the negatives. Your use of upper case letters to shout your point says a great deal about you.

I think we need to differentiate. France has far less cars per capita.<br /><br />I am all for seprated dedicated cycleways. Simply not at the cost or to the disadvantage of major infrastructure.

And no there is no blame on Simon but legitimately using him as an example, as with Bradley Wiggins & Shane Sutton as well as two kiddies seperately killed from the same school and others, that cycling on roads is risky. The more you do it the greater the risk; especially race type cycling on roads.<br /><br />No your analogy isn't correct.
