With the motorists versus cyclists debate still raging, and showing no signs of either "side" mellowing their position, why not utilise ALL former rail beds, and land adjacent to existing railway lines as traffic-free cycling infrastructure? Make it wide enough to accommodate a truck and you've got network-wide access for Network Rail's maintenance and engineering fleet too. It's a winner all round. Better access for repairs and maintenance, and a massive traffic-free cycleway system keeping parents happy and their kids away from busy roads, commuters able to switch to bikes and take advantage of the flattest, fastest route between towns, and drivers would be cock-a-hoop at the prospect of fewer cyclists "holding them up" on their busy commute. And then, when their journey time failed to miraculously halve, we could finally put to bed this ridiculous fiction that asserts that it is cyclists holding up motor traffic.
Not sure if serious.. Cyclists don't use any the thousands of miles of cycle paths that have already been specifically provided for them because pebble in sponge, so what makes you think they would use old railway paths? The answer of course is that they wouldn't and instead would continue to clog up the roads.

Mmmm... lunchtime!Sadly, despite invoking Google's support on the matter, I can find no evidence for Bob's claim.
My wife has 2 annoying habits, well 2 in particular.
1) She always drinks her tea with the bag (decaffeinated green tea ) in the cup. Then leaves it in there, on the side, or in the dishwasher.
2) She never sorts the cutlery, so I reach into the drawer for a fork, and pull out a knife or a spoon...............
Small things I know, but enough to move me towards murder sometimes !

People who see a photo depicting something a little outside their personal experience, so they immediately cry 'Photoshop'
A case in point - the pic below shows a liquid oxygen sphere being transported between launch pads at Canaveral Air Force base. It is real, yet a few people refuse to believe it despite other evidence of it actually happening
Aye - any video of a speed hill climb where someone says 'sped up' because they don't have the imagination to understand just how afst these guys send a car up a tiny lane.

I was in Oxford at the weekend. There is a road with a cycle path separated from the road by a bank and a grass verge. Ther is also a cycle path separated by a broken painted line. Which one do the cyclists overwhelmingly chose? The one that exposes them to more danger.
I understand their arguments but I'd much prefer to be safe than righteous.
