I wish I could sue the reactionary Daily Mail idiots that pepper this forum…
Stop behaving like cyclists are riding on the roads as some sort of cap doffing victims. YOU OWN THE ROADS TOO.
“Local cycle campaigners had repeatedly voiced concerns about the hazards of Edinburgh’s tram scheme.”
“The council has not acted on safety recommendations such as a two-way cycle lane, or improved lighting and signage to warn cyclists of danger.”
“this legal challenge isn’t just about cyclists and tram lines. It is about the duties of highway authorities to take proper account of cyclists’ safety, whatever they are designing.”
And finally:
“It’s a priority to improve safety right across the city and the council’s coalition agreement commitment to invest 5 per cent of the transport budget on provision for cyclists will help achieve this.”
Edinburgh is going to have have some freekin’ cycling network if the council spend 5% of the £776m that’s being spent on trams. Oh, I see, you don’t mean 5% of that budget…
