When I lived in Sheffield there pretty much wasn’t any bike lanes except around the inner ring road. but I cycled anyway and made it work for me despite crossing the university roundabout occasionally and similar madness.

Here in Leeds the cycle infrastructure gets better every year. However because I WFH or drive in I only cycle occasionally. This makes it all the more unpleasant when I get close passed or sweaty or rained on because I’m just not used to it anymore.
