Agreed on all counts. And it's the tacit assumption that as it's only a cycle lane it doesn't really matter anyway.

The Lickey Hills in the midlands have a village called Lickey End...

Don't forget Bell End as well just a few miles away.
There's going to be lots of puffing and panting from the pro's round the back of "Gay Lane" in Otley at Next Sunday's Tour deYorkshire as they head up the East Chevin https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/40+Gay+Ln,+Otley+LS21+1BR,+UK/@53.902016,-1.689747,18z
Is there really a place called Funbag Drive?

It's well known round these parts that Penistone is pronounced "Penis-town"
On my JoGLE last year, we went through,
"Cocklake"
I was laughing for the next 100miles!
Plus while skiing in Aspen a few years back, there was a lift and a hill called "Sam's Knob"
There was actually a guy with us on the trip called Sam.
I kid you not!
That provided ENDLESS hilarity!
(Plus,,,we all got to have a ride on it and then slide down it! The lift and ski slope you dirty people!,,
Dead Womans Bottom is still one of my favourites, all sorts of gags available...
You can see Lord Hereford's knob from Hay on Way, and towards Woebley you pass The Lady Gardens. There is a wonderfully named valley in Dorset called Scratchy Bottom
Dead Womans Bottom is still one of my favourites, all sorts of gags available...
Edit: Oh fuck me this is one of the zombie threads from the site ructions...
There's a Thongsbridge somewhere in Yorkshire, not far from Holmfirth.

Rode through Wilsford Cum Lake a couple of weeks ago (not literally
)
I once had to make a phone call to the post office at Twatt, the postmistress was not impressed and told me rather promptly and dryly "It's pronounced "Twart".
The bosses were also unimpressed that I was shouting across the office that I had Twatt on the phone.
Still the best place name. Especially for these guys,

Near Buxton in Derbyshire,

And further down the road,

I was telling my work colleagues about this and someone point out Brown Willy in Cornwall http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=215500&y=79500&z=120&sv=brown+willy&st=...
Blimey - Brown Willy seems to be right next to Catshole, that can't be right....
Here are a few, from my recent travels.
