  • Worth a bump indeed. I've read the plan and it makes really encouraging noises about having bikes at 10% modal share in the City and cycling essentially being a new, cheap, healthy form of mass transportation. They also readily admit that they need to do something because buses, tubes, trains are full, air quality is bad, and those things will take years and £££ to fix. Obviously they don't want to encourage more motorists, so cycling is the be all and end all and the City seems very excited by it.

    But then they go and spoil the party by failing to come up with a proper cycling plan, or any concrete measures, and only setting aside 0.45% of the LIPS budget for cycling - even 'travel behaviour programmes' get more. It's not as if the City is short a bob or two either. A complete joke and, frankly, disgraceful.

    Totally worth reading and responding if you ride in the City at all.
