My four-year-old has just learnt to cycle and I wish I could believe that by the time she nears adulthood there might be somewhere for her to use the skill without both of us living in fear. Manchester is flat and has massive reserves of "potential cyclists", if only the foresight and political will were there.<br /><br />But if you plan to continue using your "20% of journeys on Oxford Road" statistic then I'd love to know where it comes from. I only wish it were true, and if you can give a reliable source to show this is consistently correct I'll be very interested.<br /><br />I queried it here previously - I don't know if you've seen my comment?<br />http://www.roadswerenotbuiltforcars.com/why-is-cycling-popular-in-the-netherlands-infrastructure-or-history/<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12957616409432299713noreply@blogger.com
