When driving through Kettlehulme on the B5470 I watch out for the notices posted by the Sage of Kettleshulme. The latest one says, "Why do we need expensive traffic calming features when we have bicyclists."
I see the guy's/gal's point. That stretch of road is narrow with blind bends and steep gradients. I know how he/she feels. We've had to go at walking pace for hundreds of metres on some days as the cyclist struggled up a gradient. Yesterday we followed a group including a blonde ponytail giving the fellas stick as she powered up the hill.
During the run up to the general election the notice was worded to the effect that MPs are like nappies and need to be changed occasionally.
