ON Sunday, March 2, my wife and I drove to our son's home in Nottingham.
When we reached the roundabout on the A64/ring road junction, several marshals were seen directing cyclists back towards Tadcaster, evidently for a road race.
However, traffic on the A64 was constantly slowing and moving into the outer lane, because these cyclists were on the road.
This amazed and annoyed us because a few feet away was a perfectly good cycle lane which looks as if it has been resurfaced recently and which was completely empty.
The A64 was very busy. Had an accident happened I am sure the blame would have been placed on the motorists involved.
Why can't cyclists act responsibly and use the facilities provided for them?
