They put it on a sunday for a reason.
A great event for kids to see as well. So they don't end up fatties.
And last time I checked, cycling was invented long before the car. And earth wasn't created with a structured road system. So yes, cyclist should be able to "go where they like". Just as roads have taken up most of the country.
Cardiff City in the premier league caused huge amounts of traffic around the area. A inconvenience to the local populace that doesn't care about the sport. Lets ban that eh??.
Life is filled with inconveniences. So losing out on 1 sundays boring routine isn't that much I think?.
