The average UK commute is 8.5 miles or 45 minutes. *Either would be
within the capabilities of most plug-in electric cars. *

Aren’t the vast majority of car journeys less than three miles or
something like that?

For journeys of such short length, cycling is an entirely viable
alternative.

Yet, like so many, I continue to use my car because of the safety
implications of cycling on busy roads.

Until, this issue is addressed, with far better segregation available
for cyclists, I fear we are missing a golden opportunity for an easy
but considerable positive on the environment and our nation’s health.

Arguably, such provision, on that basis, would even pay for itself.

Yet, we seem destined to be stuck with the tokenism of the, wholly
unconvincing, white painted cycleway that runs out just where it’s
usually needed most.
