| Comment | Why are cars more important?
I get from Glasgow to Paisley for my job far quicker and less stressed on a bicycle than I would by train, bus or possibly even car depending on the traffic.
I’ll continue to use the road I contribute to with my taxes (income and council - which is what mostly pays for roads). My bike is my mode of transport. It doesn’t cause emissions, it doesn’t cause potholes, it keeps me fit and less of a burden on the nhs. I’m not vilifying cars either, they’re a key mode of transport, but just one mode - it’s the motor industry that perpetuated the idea that roads were for cars only. Roads have existed for millennia.
Actually I reckon if we want more cycle lanes we need more cyclists, not less Supply and demand and all that. Would be nice to see a fair proportional amount of money spent on cycling infrastructure for once. |
