Oh yes, that seems like a good choice. They seem to have
fantastic integration of their public transport system and
very bike-friendly. I just wish their cycle route maps
were a bit cheaper! I think I paid about £25 for the
foldup map of the national routes and a booklet detailing
one of them....Rich

Whereas, if you cycle across the border you are unlikely at
most of the checkpoints even to get stopped.

They have also mined all the big bridges over the valleys
(for toll evaders) ;-) -

think a one-off fee of £19 for a year is preferable to the
French toll system. I approve. I think we should do it here
- let those foreign motorists (and lorry drivers especially)
pay something for the upkeep of the UK road system! Or just
support the UK exchequer. Or whatever. Anyway we pay when we
go over there so let them pay when they come over here 😉.Rich
