Safety fears as Boris lures cyclists into ‘canyons of traffic’
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2010-06-04 12:58.Here's a wild idea... instead of teaching people to ride bikes again, and telling people to walk down the road 'with care', how about we encourage motorists to drive within the law and with respect to the most vulnerable road users? Then we can all use these wonderful hire bikes and the world would be a better place to live in.... There are no 'canyons of traffic' in central London, only careless driving and a lack of law enforcement: this is where priority should be for our authorities.
By all means take your free cycle training if you wish (I recommend it, it's excellent) but I think our society's focus should be on spending as much time trying to fix the cause of the problem as it does the effect.
