@dancing james
some of the things I'd like to see
20mph being enforced and used as a default urban speed except on main arteries
Enforce rules re RLJ for cyclists and drivers, make it clear that ploughing through pedestrian crossings should not be tolerated
No construction vehicles at rush hour
Concerted education as to where danger points are and why cyclists should be allowed to ride in primary position - this needs to be prime time advertising
Explain the health benefits
Explain that we all pay road tax but cyclists cause least damage to roads
Move away from the belief that cycling is a dangerous activity and that the health benefits far outweigh the risks
Incorporate cycling as part of the driving test
