Yes there has been a failure to build a cycle lane for years and this is down to Hampshire county council who very much like cars and HGVs near where people live driving fast

A labour driver and conservative cyclist - I doubt it !!
The lorries like to take short cuts to save deisel and give all the residents a chance to breathe in particulates
This is how fast Hampshire likes cars to drive past cyclists

Overview

This is a unique experience because there are hardly any cycle lanes in Hampshire and most people are too frightened to go on the roads. However your guide has lots of experience in running a school cycle bus and shielding children from the traffic. You will therefore be in a unique position to learn what it is like to cycle from the leafy village of Colden common, through the ancient streets of Twyford and on to Hockley link, in the knowledge that you will be protected by the cycle bus. Here you will enjoy the beauties of one of the rarest resources in the Winchester area. It’s called a cycle lane. We will laugh at the the fact that it just stops at hockley and chortle at the terrible junction design. We will guffaw at the incompetencies of HCC and explore the car focused mindsets of leaders of the council with fun quizzes and diabolical facts. This is a comedic romp through the cycling mayhem of the winchester active travel strategy.

You will have a safety briefing to help you cope with the peculiarities of hampshire drivers We will have music and cycle along to the greats "I want to ride my bicycle". We will ride along the B3335 where all the history of the development of cycle lanes will be explained to you, the fascinating workings of local politics and and the dastardly deeds of HCC. You will hopefully get to see the blue bike campaign, the "WOT no cycle lane" iconic sign, the lovely people of the 20's plenty crossing who will wave and cheer you by and the living blue sign communications with HCC "You can remove this sign but not the message", "just build a cycle way" We will arrive at the handlebar cafe for coffee to stock up on caffeine for the return trip.
