some good news - in the centre of London, cyclists are on track to outnumber motor vehicles (cars, buses, lorries) within a couple of years

anecdotally it has got a much more pleasant place to walk around in the last decade

@bovine3dom a lot of that is thanks to ULEZ and congestion charging too. The air is much better. I really notice all the shit-spewing cars outside the city now, much more.

@noodlemaz yeah, I think this is one place where London is a decent example to follow. The French parliament just voted to abolish their very poorly enforced equivalent of ULEZs :(

@bovine3dom oh no, that sucks :( French traffic is a proper nightmare
