Pretty appalling given the safety message of the ride. <br />Alice, SouthwarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-34752024511381265722011-11-12T01:40:41.083+00:002011-11-12T01:40:41.083+00:00Great idea, sorry I can't join you as I am abr...Great idea, sorry I can't join you as I am abroad.

A bicycle is something between a pedestrian and a car, really. Sometimes, driving a bike on the pavement would be much safer to everybody and would help the traffic flow too, for example. If you drive on the pavement with suitable speed and care no one gets hurt and in some (not all, ok) dangerous spots, it would be an option for the cyclist.William Truenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-90160360406386036122011-11-11T19:38:43.825+00:002011-11-11T19:38:43.825+00:00As long as you don't mind a not very quick bea...As long as you don't mind a not very quick beach cruiser joining up, I'll be there ready to ride.

I'd love to see some of the tfl people do the ride - like most planners they don't seem to have any understanding of what it's like to ride on these roads. Why does anyone need a car in London? It never crossed my mind to get one when I lived there.<br />TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-60699013680491459762011-11-07T23:11:20.992+00:002011-11-07T23:11:20.992+00:00What an excellent idea.. hope to join you for at l...What an excellent idea.. hope to join you for at least some of it!Chrisknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-90563541969051504222011-11-07T09:51:36.281+00:002011-11-07T09:51:36.281+00:00I love what you are doing here.
