• More of this "Go Dutch" bollocks? Really?

    Skinny segregated cycle lanes with kerbs on either side are a fucking joke. Time after time we see that the dedicated infrastructure that is actually deployed is shit. So let's go for something else.

    We need strict liability, properly enforced. Try the Spanish example, 1.5m minimum overtaking distance, that is stringently enforced and the public are educated about.

    Just repeating the same shit infrastructure again and again is clearly not working.

  • Spain? Loads of people cycle there do they?

    Yes, but something else as well. At the moment we perpetually facilitate people's ability to drive everywhere and the result is that they choose it over other modes of transport. While these kinds of laws are great and should be introduced, we should also be working on taking away people's a) incentive to drive and b) desire to drive in the most expedient manner possible (i.e. fast and flowing). We have a simple, functional problem with the volume of motorised traffic that, as yet, we aren't really trying to address.
