| Comment | Look how wide that road is - not to have separate safe well maintained cycle lanes would be a joke.
“They’re never used” - just because you don’t see a bike doesn’t mean it’s not used. Also, if you want to see it used we need more cycle lanes, not less. Cycle lanes appeal to those who don’t want to mix with cars but how can they do that if their route isn’t fully cycle laned and suddenly plonks them into the road?
Also, so many are full of leaves, debris, and not gritted in winter.
We have destroyed so much of this city for the car. Bikes are quieter, safer, less polluting, we all need this shift to bikes for shorter journeys so that those who do need a car (mobility impaired, for example) won’t be stuck in car traffic with those who don’t need a massive personal tank for their journey. |
