yeah, where's oliver? what do we pay him for, anyway?
The bike paths in paris are usually narrow, usually segregated with a kerb (but still in the road), and only rarely two-way things. The drivers are pretty good at giving cyclists space (perhaps because they're presumed liable in case of collision?), and those of us who don't want to cycle in the bike lanes, don't have to, and don't get hassle for not doing so. They're talking about opening up bus lanes to motorbikes, surprise surprise.
I struggle to see this as anything other than green --> blue. There's some paint company somewhere saying "sucking in through teeth noise 1.5m wide, a few miles long, that'll be....£22 million. Do it in cash, and I'll knock off the VAT"
TWENTYFUCKINGTWOMILLIONPOUNDS???
actually, at least they're spending money on cycling.
