Load of bollocks. I'm commuting from Salisbury through Amesbury at the moment, the new estate is right on NCN45 and has excellent cycle paths. In the rush hour it's probably slightly quicker by bike than it is in a car

And yet places like Cambourne, a new town built to basically service Cambridge was built with fanfare about how great it would be for cyclists and yet even just amongst the town it's shit and as for access to Cambridge by bike, nope, nothing, either take the main road or a pedestrian footpath that's narrow and means you're literally inches away from speeding motorvehicles. You can replicate that shower of shite up and down the country and for pretty much the majority of devlopments across the country ever.
