Is CAMC 'really' inclusive. They operate very much on the 'any colour you like so long as it is black' principle. They aren't interested in any sort of basic 'no frills' provision. There's not generally even an option to go non EHU for a suitable reduction in price.

If I buy a bike even though there are no cycle lanes here. Someone should provide them for me.

 

We have a fantastic cycle path network where we live, paid for out of our council tax.

Most useful to cycle approx 7 miles to the train station, fold it, get on train to Londinium and onward cycle paths to the office when required.

20 mile round trip to the pub.

Pop to the supermarket.

Vey few cyclists use the network, instead like the local cycle club ride 4 abreast blocking the road carriageway that runs alongside the wide cycleway. I'm unsure if cyclists are making a point, being obstreperous, or just intellectually challenged

You definitely have a point.  We have a number of excellent cycle tracks in the Southport area from around 7 miles from the centre of town one way to around 4 miles the other way, which I often use myself, but some cyclists simply won't  use them but ride on the road instead.  I used to be a volunteer at an animal sanctuary in Holmswood (not far from Rufford), on a Sunday morning and on my way home often found myself driving for quite a distance behind a gaggle of cyclists  who were holding up the traffic on the narrow country roads.  In my view, cyclists who do that should be fined.

If CampRa raised some capital from its members and actually ran a handful of Aires to substantiate their claims surely the freeby ones they are after would follow.

CAMpRA isn't about establishing free aires, the vast majority require payment and FYI they have already raised a substantial amount from members and are actively supporting installation costs at selected sites. Crowd funding has also received active support from motorhome owners and it has also enabled the establishment of facilities.
