Now I hate cyclists even more!

Last night I had a pleasant run to Queensferry for dinner, the good B924 road which leads from the A90 out of Edinburgh has roadworks on it. The roadworks are to allow "footpath widening and construction of a cycle path" What the footpath widening also means of course is that the road is now much narrower and its made the bends much more dangerous. How long before there's an accident here? Not long I guess, hopefully the people involved sue the retards who came up with this idea. Now just to get this right, we are in a recession, need to cut public spending, because of our governments intervention in Libya we are suffering weekly petrol rises (and of course HM Gov gets a bigger Tax take all the time) our roads are in the worst state I can ever remember and yet we have money to create a playground for the tree hugging, smelly and anti social cyclists at the expense of putting Tax paying road users lives at risk? Is it just me or have our councils lost the plot totally? Even cyclists on their forums are moaning about this as it will be more dangerous for them cycling on the wider pavement into groups of pedestrians!!!! Cyclists pay NO Tax towards the upkeep of roads, motorists pay Road Tax and Fuel duty to prop up those idiots in charge and yet cyclists seem to be getting pandered to by those in charge by the provision of cycleways at a huge cost all over the place, and no I don't subscribe to the argument they reduce congestion, they cause it!! In the Benelux countries I respect the cyclists as its part of their culture and they live harmoniously alongside other road users, here they are just a PITA!!!
