I found this enquiry on the web. The problem with many authorities is all they think they need do is produce a strategy = job done. I'm not sure WSCC knows what segregated infrastructure is as they have sacked their cycling officers. Also WSCC seems keen on soft spending eg bikeability which is ess...

Presumably the charge would apply to my own car going to the car park beside the Hilton, which I used recently. My wife and I stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights and parked the car in that car park. The car stayed there, unused, until we left. I wonder what we would have done if there had be...

This is really good news. Councils up and down the country have known that legal pollution limits were being breached in their areas for years, yet have failed to take any meaningful action due to fear of motorists. I'm sure the government's plan was to wait till we leave the EU - then legalise the ...

3 posts in 6 years is hardly obsessive. I'm sure you've posted more often than that on many topics. Three posts on this thread. I have started to notice cryptic and hostile reference to Warrington Cycle Campaign on several occasions on different and completely unrelated threads - for example in his...

This seems to be somewhat of an obsession of yours, which presumably means you are a fan of NCN 4. Perhaps if you could come up with a photo and suitably humorous caption for this bit of c**p just around the corner I could replace it: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.6624843,-4.0793451,3a,15y,308.83h...

You might think that an apology is in order but that says more about your attitude than than the cycle paths. You are forgetting that it is Sustrans themselves who are finally admitting that the network is rubbish. A bit of humility following that would be entirely in order. And actually my dislike...

It only takes a cursory glance at the heatmap to see that it is completely unrepresentative of everyday cycling. The people who use strava tend to be competitive riders measuring their performance. Even if they also happen to be utility cyclists I very much doubt they will be recording their local t...

So finally they acknowledge what some of us have been telling them for 20 years that their network is c**p. You would think that at this point an apology would be in order, but no, just a request to give them even more money.

It took the jury *five hours* to decide...! While it is extremely unlikely for a randomly selected jury to include 11 utter morons, there is always the possibility of one. And in this case they seem to have been utterly intransigent. I suspect 11 of the jury will have reached their conclusion withi...

My reading of that case is that the defence was that there was insufficient evidence to identify the defendant as being the person who was standing in the carriageway and was alleged to have caused the crash. ie With stronger evidence of identification, a conviction was more likely. But what is the...

Critically, no underpass or any other aid to crossing the A142 at any point along the route of this new bypass. I'm not sure that is quite true. About half of it appears to be a bridge which crosses the railway, the river and the NCN 11 cycleway. As pointed out above the cyclepath on the road from ...

Hardly surprising. This is the same Philip Hammond who was appointed transport secretary by Cameron in 2010 vowing to end the war on motorists. His "achievements" included ditching the previous governments casualty reduction targets, abolishing Cycling England, making it difficult to insta...

Spot on report. It is actually more depressing than the report makes out. It is not that developers are forcing car orientated development that the planning authorities are unable to resist, but planning policies forcing developers to design that way. One of the settlements mentioned in the report i...

Oh no not the Dutch Reach again. Please will anyone who is still perpetuating this nonsense get into a car, try it and see for yourself that IT DOESN'T WORK. [...] Just tried and it does work. You must have exceptionally short arms if your face is pressed up against the window. Car designs and peop...
