It’s on my doorstep, call me controversial but I think it’s a good thing, MB is a no go at a weekend due to traffic, trying to get through there on a bike is difficult, trying to get a car through is nigh on impossible, what the traders lose from bikers (who only spend on food & coffee) will be more than made up for by car owners with huge boots in their cars filled with goods from the shops, a large number of gift shops have closed in the last couple of years for this very reason.

Interesting take on it. I hadn’t really thought of it like that…
