I know there's a rally on the last Friday of every month but as cyclists, we've got a unique opportunity to create havoc on the roads of London without causing ourselves any problems (a bit like what motorists do all the time). All we need to do is cycle around in large groups, say, every Monday morning on the way to work. Let's bring this city to its knees until it starts listening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-52646957215348974092011-05-21T16:23:14.020+01:002011-05-21T16:23:14.020+01:00I can't make it tomorrow morning.

No...Thanks Jim, rabble rousing is a speciality ;-)<br /><br />No seriously, if London was *serious* about becoming a cycling city all this wouldn't be necessary and we wouldn't be fighting off '60s style traffic schemes. I'm glad you are coming, do spread the word and I'll see you there!ibikelondonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978714126105951294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129037502516609710.post-35552717727862755112011-05-19T13:31:19.261+01:002011-05-19T13:31:19.261+01:00That's some good rabble-rousing Mark!

They seem to expect pats on the back for restoring a 1.5m wide cycle lane southbound (at the expense of pedestrians, as you say), but they are still a million miles from the idea of designing roads around the needs of cyclists and pedestrians as opposed to the needs of cars. Accommodating vehicles is the over-riding obsession. And even for something as self-evidently sensible as a 20mph speed limit, they didn't seem to think they needed to justify a higher limit, but that anyone advocating lowering it had to make an overwhelming case.Jimnoreply@blogger.com
