I think you are underestimating the spending power of the cyclist, they dont do many miles to the gallon you know so there will be a lot of revenue at the petrol pumps. They are dificult to move by car so most will be moored at the local marinas generating more revenue. And then there are all those lakeside boating shops which are eagerly diversifying in to cycling supplies, they will be creaming it in selling innertubes and chains instead of those low profit margin 200K boats.
All the lake wardens can probably find alternative employment patroling the cycle routes helping people with punctures.
And lets not forget those big spending "walkers" boy do they get through some money on a day out in the lakes.
Ahh the utopia that is Britain, where the people in power dont possess the power of reason
