Impressed by the cyclists

I really admire the cycling lobby in our city. For years, mainly through Spokes, they’ve argued and lobbied and cajoled the Council and the government about improving things for cyclists. They are always polite and always in command of their facts.

And it’s paid off. Gradually the Council over many years has improved facilities for cyclists – and the number of people cycling has gone up and up. Journeys by bike are now a significant percentage of all journeys.

It shows the power of consistent, courteous and well-argued views.
