While this may seem off topic, this article is relevant: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/may/22/why-awareness-raising-campaigns-backfire What it implies is that if a news article says that many people drive too close to cyclists, this will make the matter worse as car drivers will see t...

I suppose it's a plant we can live without in the UK, but I think that would be rather a pity - it's really eyecatching and only dangerous if you actually touch it (and even then, only if sunlight falls on the skin which has been in contact). For most people it will merely result in an unpleasant r...

You mean the Glenelg ferry, it's running, does a good business in sea eagle spotting I believe.

We don't have an app we have a gps unit fitted to the car to monitor driving, there are 4 of us on the policy sharing the car and we allocate mileage to each driver but they don't know which of us is driving at any one time. If we drive well (speed, speed pulling up to and away from junctions, time ...

I'm very fond of the Schwabische Alb south of Stuttgart. It is an overlooked area, I've mainly walked there but there are lots of cycle routes and it is very popular with local cyclists. (It isn't a range of hills, alb is an upland meadow and there is an escarpment.) My colleague tells me that it ha...

Stirling isn't great.

Just note that the Winchburgh tunnel is closed on the railway line outside Edinburgh so all trains are either running from Linlithgow on to the Fife line and then into Edinburgh or there is a replacement bus service (they are electrifying the line and hence they have to lower the level of the tunnel...

Basically it seems to depend on where your service is, some services are free, others you pay 5 euros, and there are local restrictions. https://www.bahn.de/p/view/service/fahrrad/mitnahme/08rad_nahverkehr.shtml https://www.bahn.de/p/view/service/fahrrad/mitnahme/preise_fahrradmitnahme.shtml For exa...

Signed, I agree with the last comment, I live on the Dunblane to Perth section and too often you have to cross the dualed A9 just on footways with traffic coming at you at 70 mph. Having said that, even the motorists want proper flyovers on the Dunblane to Perth section, Blackford, Auchterarder, etc...

Now I do know the answer to this, there is a bike trial with the trams in May, so I guess the answer is generally no. https://edinburghtrams.com/news/bikes-on-board. Otherwise, you could cycle as far as Edinburgh Park train station (using the pavements, I have seen people cycling along the A8 paveme...

Have a look at the statistics here: http://a9road.info/safety-statistics/statistics/ which as I thought, Dunblane to Perth is in need of new accesses at junctions that are safer for everyone, not just cars but also pedestrians and cyclists, north of Perth it is the single lane sections and lorries, ...

As walking is a practical option, with lots to be said in its favour, I would choose that if the kids are getting stressed by the cycling. The kids are the priority, not the cycling. I would keep the cycling for journeys that are less prone to conflict, at least for a while. And walking is an excel...
