Basically, as has been alluded to there are plenty of cycle lanes now but are rarely used by said cyclists.
They either use the roads or the pavements, and totally disregard the cycle lanes they desperately wanted.
Such arrogance.

Apologies to any decent cyclists, you are very few and far between!

I live in Halifax and we have no cycle lanes in town, its very poor for cyclists . It doesn't help with the narrow roads in this part of Yorkshire

The most famous ad for that was the Shackleton's High seat chair. It was so bad it was brilliant, it made that company a fortune.

If we are looking for talentless presenters who have got a job for reasons other than actual ability then look at many of today's TV presenters. That tall guy with the white teeth, Rylance??? And he isn't even the worst. Unlike the GoCompare guy they don't achieve anything in most cases as viewing figures often plummet.

Howard on the Halifax ads. I know he worked for them, but FFS....
Then he started popping up on another annoying ad with Captain Obvious as well!
Boils my pi*s.
