It always seem to be in the news down this way, saying about safer cycle lanes, cycle only roads and then of course about cyclist deaths caused by lorries or buses (my opinion, but I don't always agree that lorries or buses are the cause, but more likely the cyclist the cause).
Anyhow, they appear to be spending big bucks on cyclists and their safety. How about if they utilised some of the old abandoned Underground Systems that are just laying dormant, it could eradicate cyclist deaths caused by the lorries and buses, because there will not be any down there ! and of course the cyclist will not have to cope with any of the other problems they encounter such as car doors opening in front of them, no need for them to ignore traffic lights and so also lessening the strain on motorists who have to be extra vigilant about cyclists.
Work on these tunnels would not disrupt traffic on the roads and free up some extra space on the roads where the cycle lanes had been, and the cost of working on the tunnels would probably be less than working on the roads above.
