Hello I live in Walthamstow where we've just started a trial of the £30 million Mini Holland scheme which aims to encourage cycling and walking.
This first stage involved road closures to make residential streets better for cycling. As you can imagine, this has caused a lot of motorists to kick RIGHT off. They got all organised and started a petition and have been on the news and it's been pretty depressing from the point of view of a cyclist as there's a noisy, angry minority dominating the debate.
So to redress the balance I've started a Change.org petition in support of the scheme. Would you mind signing?

If you want to see the petition against it is here:

Thanks very much
