Quote ="wigan_rlfc"A570 Rainford bypass, large dual carriageway with wide cyclepaths seperated from the main carriageway on either side yet the lycra brigade (including Sir Brad himself) are usually found on the main road with the lorries and busses. I just don't get it.'"
Trouble with them cyclepaths is that they are covered in debris and glass all the way along. I rode down there once, and ended up with 2 punctures.
I just avoid that bypass now as its more trouble than its worth.
