I assume the eco crew are in apoplectic rage at the carbon footprint of all the cars involved in this plus the thousands held up. It’s carbon footprint must be enormous just to make a segment for a TV programme or are charity stunts exempt

The car thing creating traffic hold ups is bogus considering that car drivers are supposed to give vulnerable road users like cyclists as much room as a car so the only way its easier to overtake a cyclist is inbreach of the highway code

The issue here isn't a cyclist or two, it's the associated cavalcade with outriders, camera car, support car etc. We have a similar problem on the A9 north of Inverness when "charity" rides think they need all of that too. It creates a long, slow chicane.

See tj's post above about driver's compliance with Highway Code.

This type of event - or stunt as you disparagingly describe it - always requires a support team.

Her efforts have raised >£1 million for good causes. Would you rather she hadn't done it which would have reduced the total amount raised?
