Good to see this^
Just back from visiting my Dad in Liverpool (where I am from).
Rode to Childwall from town and back 3 times over the past 3 days clocking around 30 miles and counted 4 people on bikes on road. That is all. There were a few more cycling on the pavements and a group of BMXers around Paddy Wigwam. The weather was great, fresh and sunny, the roads are wide and quiet, yet no one on bikes. Why is this?
Liverpool is mildly hilly, just small hill coming up from the Mersey, has a mild climate yet no one was cycling.
What can we do to reverse this?
I did meet a bloke on a KC road bike called Mel, the bike was monogrammed 'Ray Davies' Here it is:
we spoke about the lack of people on bikes and he'd like to do something. Not sure what.
Any ideas?
