    We read a lot of criticism about cycling infrastructure – but I’m intrigued to know which towns and cities are getting it right for commuters and making cycling a realistic proposition for their residents?

    Is there anywhere that’s edging closer to Copenhagen or Portland’s cycling infrastructure? I’m thinking we’re getting better, but it’s not always highlighted.

    Well at least Bristol was the first even if it’s not the best (or even any good at all): http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7462791.stm

    I’d say Bristol has a cycling community/culture, but it’s had to develop as a protective measure to help stand up against the Bristol Post reading white van and bus driving mouth breathers of which there are many…

    Last time I visited Newcastle
    Last time I visited Newcastle upon Tyne I was impressed with the investment in cycling infrastructure. Particularly John Dobson Street, which was a dual carriageway that’s now been converted to a cycle and bus lane.

    If fact, I was so amazed by the cycle lane, I didn’t see the sign that said buses only and got caught in the bus lane by an anpr camera (whoops!).
