so what is this grid going to be? As said above, if it's just a sign-posted bunch of roads then nothing will change. If they do make substantial improvements this will be great for people who already ride in town, but won't entice new riders.
To get more people on bikes we need 'proper' cycling superhighways, that is direct routes people will feel and be safe and where bikes have priority at all junctions.
I doubt any real changes will happen. We don't have the commitment in government to make a real difference. There just aren't enough votes in prioritising walking and cycling
