There is the World Naked Bike Ride but this would be more prudish and more political. Now would be a good time when one considers that "road safety" is going to be a big topic once again.christhebullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058394246399615754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-11556606777754078232011-05-20T17:55:59.185+01:002011-05-20T17:55:59.185+01:00Fantastic protest!

There seems to be a little bit of political will out there, now is the time to capitalise on it.<br /><br />Here in Edinburgh there are a lot of horrible roads (often 6 lanes wide). Decades of quiet campaigning appears to be making very slow progress (but is necessary!) but I think it's time for some mass protests too.<br /><br />Expect more protests like this one across the country!Mike Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-75560154620711019442011-05-20T13:22:04.691+01:002011-05-20T13:22:04.691+01:00I missed the event but great to hear about it.
I...I missed the event but great to hear about it. <br /><br />I agree we need to emphasize this is not just about cyclists. Especially the 20mph limit is good for everyone: pedestrians and residents because of less noise and pollution, and drivers, too: in built-up areas lower peak speeds can improve traffic flow and average speed, by reducing accidents and improving lange change/ merging manoeuvers.Mariannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-2961952691423922742011-05-20T11:36:34.399+01:002011-05-20T11:36:34.399+01:00Thanks Linday, you've hit the nail on the head...Thanks Linday, you've hit the nail on the head right there.

I would have loved to be there but had to be at work early today on the other side of town. <br /><br />I totally agree that the revised TfL plans are barely an improvement. Obviously it's nice that they didn't scrap the cyle lane, but it's barely scratching the surface of the problem, which is that London's roads and bridges are fundamentally hostile, unpleasant and dangerous to ride or walk on.Lindsaynoreply@blogger.com
