So my choice is this, build cycle lanes thats fine, but then cyclists should have to pay road tax then no?, afterall its the roads that seem to take the brunt of new cycle lanes, and narrowing roads that were already congested at peak times (im looking at you there Rake Lane Roundabout), i'd rather see investment in better Transport rather than cycle lanes that are hardly (if ever) used

I think there needs to be a balance and whether they're bus lanes, cycle lanes or simply roads for cars - they should work and complement each other.
As it stands, all I see is competition between the 3, usually with the car losing out. 

The absolute farce in turning the Gateshead flyover in to a cycle-lane, didn't benefit anyone.
The Birtley cycle super-highway isn't going to make the traffic any better along Durham Road.
