Yeah I don't think it'll be lesbians, they really don't cost much to maintain. But disabled, cyclists, ethnic minorities, any group specific enough to have its own 'community', lots of opportunities for public money intended for wheelchair access, cycle lanes and community centres to go walkabout.
In Preston it's the cycling (fraternity? community?) that's had the most money chucked at it. Much of the dual carriageway running through the city is now 2-way single carriageway, with the other side devoted to 2 wheels. And this pic shows just a small part of what they've done here. All they need now is some cyclists willing to use it.
