Heavy traffic

[Bullet]

I am dreading the return to normal traffic conditions after lockdown. I consider riding in the rush hour period suicidal and even in the daytime try to stick to bike only routes. A friend risked it for years but came a cropper suffering a broken back.
More cycling lanes is the answer

As long as they are proper cycling lanes, with appropriate width, segregation and rights at junctions; rather than the typical pictures of squashed bicycles on the road, and paths round roundabouts that expect you to give up all priorities and then to cross roads at the lethal point they join and leave the roundabout.
