Re: cycle paths

St Michael's Road has cycle lanes, but of the type that slightly
reduce, rather than increase, safety. There's Rose Hill of course.
There are ASLs down Grove Road. There's a cycle path across Ransome's
Rec. There is a very good cycle path from Pirton to Ickleford
(although, bizarrely, a No Vehicles sign at the far end bans its
use).

In a town of Hitchin's road sizes, it's debatable whether there is
space on most roads, and putting lanes in where there is insufficient
space reduces safety rather than increasing it, so I am not sure that
we should look for lanes everywhere.
