"We have noted before that this is the fastest ride to zero-carbon; almost anyone can ride an e-bike for six miles under almost any conditions. If there were safe places to ride and secure places to park, then millions of car trips could be avoided, and millions of cars taken off the road"

@simon_brooke "If there were safe places to ride..." Good luck with that 😟

@vorsprung you elect your local government. If you feel they're not doing a good job, you could even stand. There can be safe places to cycle, all you need to do is make it so.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Negativity does not reflect well on any of us.

@simon_brooke you don't live in Tory southern England.
The local landowners have all development tied up
For example, when they built an industrial estate recently one of them owns most of the land the old railway track is on. Did they use it to put in a nice path? No, there is a useless section of 20m of meaningless path opposite the housing which they also built
