'Cycling is not an intrinsically dangerous activity but there is much more to be done to improve conditions for cyclists on the roads.
'British Cycling is calling on the government to put cycling at the heart of transport policy to ensure that cycle safety is built into the design of all new roads, junctions and transport projects, rather than being an afterthought.'
That's the nub of it. I wouldn't be so keen to cycle down the A6 or the Chester Road in Manchester. Many places aren't geared up for cyclists.
