They're trying to rebrand riding a bike.

Which one of these names best describes this kind of bicycling?

• Everyday Biking

You don't have to click any of the options, the next page asks you why and gives you another text box to enter your own term.

I clicked none, entered "they all sound bad" and entered "cycling" as my suggestion.

Hello campaigning-inclined people. You might be interested in the Cyclenation conference on 22 November at Lambeth Town Hall. Here's the agenda - if you have any interest in infrastructure the design standards session should be great; Brian Deegan and Phil Jones are both really good. Ditto inclusive cycling with Rachel Aldred and Kevin Hickman. And the rest of it.

It's a mere £25 (50% off for students) and there'll be some kind of delicious lunch involved, and biscuits.

[disclaimer: I work for LCC, and really like biscuits]

"Your city takes advice from vehicular cyclists serioisly" is there as one of the 'snakes'.

Fuck you, Copenhagenize.

He's very contradictive when I had a conversation with him, he was amanet that Copenhagen is safe, and the record show it, but when I enquired about the law of riding on the road, he was also quick to says it would be risky and we should never mix with motorised vehicles.

If you want to see the very best of gutter cycling, Copenhagen is the place.

In the UK, some people view cycling on the pavement as a major problem, so police officers fine cyclists for being on the pavement (even if there's a complicated mess of a cycle path allow them to).

Whether in Barcelona, they decided the best way to reduced the number of people riding on the pavement is to targets poor driving around cyclists.

A much better system than blaming cyclists for riding on the pavement in the first place out of fear of motorised vehicles.

rather than fighting over what one man in copenhagen said, and melodramatic die-in's which will just make more people afraid to cycle in towns and cities, did no one else not notice the £15 odd billion planned for the UK's roads infrastucture till 2021, especially an underpass at Stonehenge, a fraction of which could be devoted to cycling infrastructure and getting more people on bikes, to help combat the oncoming obesity crisis, helping the environment (which more roads for more cars isn't going to do) and generally just being awesome...

That was in the news topic, very staggering compare to the pitfall £214 millions to be put toward cycling that was announced last week.

It's base on those notion that car ownerships will increase while cycling decrease in the future.

Yup a good description Ed
