@jackcycles wait a minute... I'm getting a sense of déjà vu ... **Khan!** Also on Mr. Stops - despite being at Hackney (which have done some good work) I believe he's been ... skeptical... of cycle infra. Perhaps he's of the vehicular cycling "I can so why can't everyone else" cult? Apparently he's also been involved with the National Federation of the Blind UK - a fringe group who managed to get some of the bigger groups on board a campaign taking aim at bus stop bypasses. (They believe these will cause havok for the visually impaired, despite these uncontroversially working in many places abroad. And indeed in the UK, for decades - but just not under that name.)

@chrisonabike - I agree, but my point was more about the reluctance/pushback involved, rather than the effectiveness/safety of any schemes that are/might be rolled out

Trams would be great! Wonder what happened to them...

Serious injuries as defined in statistics span from an uncomplicated fracture of a forearm bone to catastrophic multiple injuries that result in death in subsequent weeks and months. Consequently without further analysis they may be quite misleading, it may be that the statistics disguise what would otherwise have been fatal injuries at the roadside due to effective early treatment by first responders and subsequent trauma care OR that they reflect an increase in injuries at the lower edge of the severity spectrum OR neither. From the numbers alone we do not know and so are not in a good position to draw inferences about the seeming fall in deaths and rise in reported serious injuries.

@chrisonabike The intense resistance Network Rail seem to put up against absolutely any infrastructure project near the railways that would lead to more passengers on the railways is perpetually baffling to me.

@jackcycles Sorry Vincent, but your legacy will be to be remembered as a grumpy failure and pub bore, who twists facts to suit narratives and has never knowingly been correct about anything in his miserable life.

@belugabob true, but doing that and persuading most parents to drive their children to school entailed a hefty sacrifice of children - and not a few parents. (Luckily that was "back then" and we probably wouldn't tolerate it now... OTOH while "fixing things" should have much smaller casualty numbers, "during the transition" it could well increase...)

Laaandan! Laaandan!
Laaandan! Laaandan! Laaaaaaandan! It’s the centre of the universe with its traffic, sh*t roads, psychos, pollution, psychos, absence of hills, overpriced everything, achingly trendy people, psychos and a bit of light stabbing now and again – but isn’t is just a brilliant place to live. God bless ya Laaaaandan!

I’m quite surprised that Sadiq Khan hasn’t done more what with Jeremy Corbyn as his honest to goodness, bike riding, down to earth leader and all… I thought building more cycle lanes would have been a pretty easy win for the Labour party (corbyn as benefactor of any praise by proxy), as it happens Sadiq Khan has proven once again that politics is just a game of juggling lies and that politicians promises are worth about as much as an Greece has saved up in the bank.
Sink the lot of the smiley slimy arseholes! Burn parliment and lets start again.

So a quarter of our population avoid exercise at all costs? That low?
At least we know now who to tax extra to fund the NHS windfall!

Probably just better to tax the rich than respondants to a poorly phrased and emotively worded survey.

But then it goes on about people wanting exercise facilities near to them (and, presumably, cheap). I wonder if those would be the people who’ll drive to a gym, spend an hour in a spin class, then drive home again rather than just going for a bike ride in the Outside….?
