JUST what the blazes is all this twittering about cycle tracks and cyclists' safety?

Here in the Foley Park area of Kidderminster we have many such safe cycle tracks - we call them "public footpaths".

Closer into town we also call them "public parks".

These are extra safe for the endangered cyclist.

Actually, right in the town centre we call them "pedestrianised shopping areas". These are, of course, safest of all for the cyclist.

I am too old and fat myself to be a cyclist, but I can still leap out of the way when necessary, presuming I can see and hear them coming, that is.
