That's a very stupid remark. That cycleways are well used is obvious if
you look at the proportion of cycle commuters to Cambridge, by far the
highest in the UK.


Cambridgeshire is bigger than Cambridge. The county has built a
cycleway along Witcham Toll, and I don't think I've seen a cyclist on
that road or cycleway, ever. (Other than those Sundays they do time
trials, which is a whole different can of worms).


Whatever you see about Witcham Toll of which I know nothing you are
overlooking that Cambridgeshire as a whole has cycling to work levels higher
than most of the country.
