What
makes a good road?
My favourite
roads are not necessarily the quickest. I like the
challenging twisty roads that motorcyclists have loved
for years.
If you have
a favourite road you would like to let others know about then
why not post your suggestion to our notice
board
Really
good biking roads will usually have/be:
Single
carriageway
National
speed limit
Few solid
white lines (bikes can overtake safely where cars cannot) -
see how the A272 has been spoiled
Curves
and bends which are not too sharp
Good
visibility
Well
surfaced (not surface dressed with loose gravel)
Some
traffic but not too much
Free
of housing and villages
Views
and scenery for the days when you want to amble along
I'm not going to name an all time favourite here because I feel
it can lead to over use which in turn leads to calls for more
restrictions and heavier policing. Suffice to say Wales
is great, as is Scotland and parts of Northern England.
