Interesting article here on road.cc regarding the use of dual carriageway A roads as time trial courses.
There was a petition recently to Bucks County Council to ban cyclists from these roads but thankfully there wasn't much support. If you read the article the reasons for the petition are simply victim blaming.
There is now a counter petition for the county council to start maintaining the dual A roads in better condition and enforcing other road users to pay attention to cyclists. Already its attracted a good number of votes but they need more in order to get the council to debate it.
I would encourage you all to sign the petition and also promote to others.
