I am part of a group that encourages people to cycle. hence asside from the encouraging successes we have, I come across all the many comments for those who don’t. the main one being how unsafe the roads are in London. So if people want to encourage more cycling that realy has to be addressed. I don’t mean squashed up cycle lanes either. Priority and cycle roads not lanes.

> “Yet many of those who are unemcumbered by children”

I saw my first ‘tandem plus’ the other day. A lady taking her 2 kids to school. Basically a tandem with one of the one wheeler things for kids that attach to the seatpost. What a cool idea. Was like watching some ducks cross the road

Fantastic article – and The Guardian are publishing a 96 page guide to cycling in their paper tomorrow (Saturday March 3rd), so it really does look like people are coming around to the ‘idea’ of cycling around London. Now we just need people to join us!

Don’t worry, It’s a temporary blip; the journalist that wrote this was shot a dawn…

This is the same newspaper who’s front page headline on Feb 20th was “Man held over letter bombings is a cyclist”.

It is a great article. TFL and the mayor should be applauded for doing great things for cyclists in London. The introduction of bus lanes and the congestion charge have done more to help cyclists than any number of cycle lanes. As people become increasingly green in their thinking cycling will be seen as more of an option by more people.

Look out for the 92 page cycling supplement in this Saturday’s Guardian.

Combine this with the double page spread this week in the Evening Standard and it seems as if the revolution may be here – that or the LCC are spending some big money with a PR outfit. I don’t really mind either way as long as it gets more people onto bikes. Ride on.

I am at a loss for words. What a wonderful article. Those are similar to the points I try to make on my humble blog from time to time, here in Japan.

Fossil fuels depletion (the UK for example is now a net energy importer again since North Sea fields production has peaked) and the dual problem of climate change, have made secure the future of the bicycle as the most efficient means of transportation. Nice to see people waking up to smell the coffee (or earl grey or ocha) and embracing the “verolution”.
