Not known as cyclist friendly, London cab firm Addison Lee has been in touch announcing a new service from October the 19th, CycleCab. Specifically, they phrase it “Addison Lee Embraces Cyclists With New CycleCab Offering”. Launched in partnership with SixDayLondon, the service will carry up to two passengers and one bike. If we still lived in London, we might well go for a cab home when drunk rather than a morning-after tube journey in bike clothes.
Addison Lee is careful to add this line to the release: “Addison Lee is a strong supporter of London’s cyclists and ensures each of their drivers goes through a cyclist awareness training programme”. They also describe themselves as having an ongoing commitment to London’s cyclists. What do you think? Turning over a new leaf, or another way to get bikes off roads?
Got to be a start surely.
I bet I know one of the 40 Hours+ voters. Poor sod 😀
