Britain’s national cycle network needs to be given the same priority as roads and rail rather than being at constant risk of “falling into ruin”, according to a leading cycling writer.
Laura Laker, who has published a book outlining her experience of the 13,000-mile network, said it was “outrageous” how it went largely unfunded while billions in taxpayers’ cash were “wasted on trunk roads we don’t need and can’t afford”.
