They encourage driving because they are fast, direct, well connected, and have a high capacity; whereas our own "Cycle Superhighways" run through bus stops, and our National Cycle network is like the road network in the Sahel. But Paris-Dakar rally commute conditions are OK on a BSO "mountain bike" no?christhebullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058394246399615754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-87920075848075547722011-05-23T16:36:20.336+01:002011-05-23T16:36:20.336+01:00Mark, what an excellent job comparing swimming to ...Mark, what an excellent job comparing swimming to cycling. You hit the nail on the head. You are asking very important questions and putting out good ideas, the best one to be honest is "copy the successful ones"!ndruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15324118775089929952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-23865997239130328612011-05-23T10:51:19.228+01:002011-05-23T10:51:19.228+01:00Good for Kensington, maybe not so good for Sam'...Good for Kensington, maybe not so good for Sam's wallet!ibikelondonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978714126105951294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-2093293636669938282011-05-23T10:30:17.494+01:002011-05-23T10:30:17.494+01:00I love Kensington in that respect - anyone who thi...I love Kensington in that respect - anyone who thinks taking road space away from cars in commercial areas should head to Kensington High Street to see how they've built bicycle parking into the traffic islands, and along the wide pavements, and how busy all of that parking always is.<br />As a result I stop there loads on my way to and from places, and I always end up spending more than I intended because I can just hop off and lock up whenever something catches my eye.<br />Hang on, maybe that's not such a good thing after all...gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09507079719901455980noreply@blogger.com
