Dawning of a new cycling era?

The newspapers are awash with reports relating to the publication of the APPCG's Get Britain Cycling report - you can read it here if you like.
There are five key recommendations in the report:

  • A new priority for investing public funds
  • Redesigning our roads, street and communities
  • Safe driving and safe speed limits
  • Training and education
  • Political leadership
All sensible stuff really - with the possible exception of 'redesigning communities' which sounds a bit fascistic to me. 


But, like all of these things, wise words must be met with action. Deeds! Let's hope something does actually happen from the report and we don't find ourselves in the exact same position 20 years down the road when the next 'revolutionary report' is issued.
You can help this come about by signing The Times' petition here.
