bristol.jpgNew cycle map celebrates Bristol's maritime heritage
Bristol City Council has launched a new cycling and walking guide to the South-West port city’s historic harbourside to tie in with the Bristol Floating Harbour 200 bicentenary celebrations.
The 60-page booklet covers the whole of the harbour area and shows around ten miles of routes extending from Netham to Cumberland Basin, reports the website, Bristol24/7. It includes period pictures taken from Bristol’s Museums Galleries & Archives, together with contemporary pictures of the same scenes.
The booklet was written by Andy King, Curator of Maritime History for Bristol’s Museums, who said: “I’ve really enjoyed walking and cycling around the harbour over the last thirty years. I hope that others will discover more about it through these trails. The aim is to encourage people to explore the tremendous asset that they have on their doorsteps.”
It can be picked up for free at the City Museum & Art Gallery, the Central Library and various venues by the harbour, and can also be ordered online at www.bristol.gov.uk/travelinfo.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
And presumably you don't have as much media over there stoking the divisions and encouraging the view of cyclists as "other"?

Simple solution: any vehicle, that hasn't been reported as stolen, being driven by a disqualified driver gets scrapped.
I presume that Lime bikes are dockless? So, how would Lime be able to stop someone just leaving the bike anywhere at all?
