I don't know what they're like around Gosport, but many of the cycle lanes I've used and/or seen are worse than useless. Not gritted during the winter (fond memories of last winter, going to work sliding along on my arse), covered in waste (glass is a favourite) because they aren't swept clear by the tyres of heavier vehicles as roads are and often full of kamikaze pedestrians and even worse, their dogs, many of whom seem to like the idea of a mouthful of nice muscular calf.
Of course, if you
hit the dog that was off its lead and darted out of the bushes into your front wheel, then it's certainly not the owner's fault, is it?
