Is Boris trying to keep all of the people happy all of the time, as, I don't think this will work if we want to attract lots more to cycling.<br /><br />Daviddavidncohennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-67125603131381204482012-08-10T11:05:24.409+01:002012-08-10T11:05:24.409+01:00very good postvery good postschnell abnehmenhttp://diatplan.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-62082014623071581482012-08-09T17:22:29.811+01:002012-08-09T17:22:29.811+01:00Paul - I couldn't agree more with your post re...Paul - I couldn't agree more with your post regarding the medal tables. Whilst it is thrilling that GB is doing so well, and the good feeling this seems to be fostering at the moment, I certainly don't think silver, bronze or even less should be seen as "not winning". I thought Rebecca Addlington did an incredible job in her second race of the Games and worked bloody hard against an incredible field to achieve bronze. Likewise, some athletes from less populated countries may not even qualify for finals but might turn out to be the fastest person from that country in that event - who knows what legacy that might have back home in terms of inspiring a generation?<br /><br />As to Boris and what his announcement will be tomorrow I for one hope that his opinions on cycling infrastructure will have "evolved" (isn't this how Obama described his stance on gay marriage?) I look forward to being proved right and hope I will not be proven wrong. We shall see.ibikelondonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978714126105951294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-70694368008562079172012-08-09T16:17:39.123+01:002012-08-09T16:17:39.123+01:00In view of the fact that we only have to wait unti...In view of the fact that we only have to wait until tomorrow to get the basic sense of his announcement, I guess this is not the time for cynicism. Let's hope that it willbe a significant announcement on infrastructure.<br /><br />However, cynicism or no, I just don't see it being anything about reallocating road space, because that gets in the way of his obsession on smoother traffic flow, which I just don't believe he is going to give up.<br /><br />As a general observation about Olympic legacy, there is one aspect of the Games, or more probably about the media presentation of the games (especially the BBC) which troubles me: every event has been portrayed as a life-or-death matter (or perhaps even more important than that, as Bill Shankly would have said) in which a silver medal is a defeat. Anyone who doesn't win, by definition has lost. People who "only" got silver, or who "only" came 4th, are "devastated". Jessica Ennis had the good sense in her BBC News at 10 interview the other evening to reject the notion of competition being everything, to say that it should be fun, but that is not the general way of the media coverage.<br /><br />What message does that send? I am not sure it is a good one, anyway.<br /><br />I sincerely hope that the Olympic legacy is not just even more medals at the Rio games, but is mass participation in sport, across a wider spectrum of sports, and also of leisure participation and yes, dare I say it, borrowing Chris Boardman's words, cycling not just as sport but also as TRANsport.Paul Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929808238663838155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-3033017046640668102012-08-09T16:11:56.842+01:002012-08-09T16:11:56.842+01:00Preperare to disappointed.Preperare to disappointed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-41074005012299478732012-08-09T14:59:41.846+01:002012-08-09T14:59:41.846+01:00This is a great post.

It should be compulsory for road engineers etc to cycle everywhere so they know what it's like to have to fight for road space with bigger/faster/more powerful/dangerous vehicles.kimbofohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160466897342054963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-10361289953583733492012-08-09T14:35:05.894+01:002012-08-09T14:35:05.894+01:00The Olympic legacy in Richmond following the succe...The Olympic legacy in Richmond following the successful road race and time trial will be the removal of cycle lanes from Twickenham town centre.
