Having problems with message search?
If we all did just one thing a week in support of cycling, like writing to our local rag, or supporting someone who has. That would help things along. I happen to believe there's more folk out there that agree with what we are saying, (or would like to say if we'd only open our mouths), than are opposed. After all, there's nothing more seductive than watching contented cyclists passing by. Well - almost nothing
But worryingly, I fear Stern will be overtaken, if or when, terrorism and the promised bird flu pandemic strikes. Then we'll see a rapid reduction in distances travelled, and an avoidance of enclosed forms of public transport. The bike will then come into its own, (see the growth of cycling in London since the bombings), and there will be a resurgence of local food distribution with collection on foot or by bicycle - but sadly for the wrong reasons.
Regards
Roy

RoyI enjoyed this video clip and thought I might use it in a presentation I am doing to the Cheshire and Warrington Access Forum in March. But the key question is how do we create the culture for cycling - perhaps Stern will help to show the way.As CTC members of the Chester Cycling Campaign are aware, membership of the former brings a variety of benefits. One is the weekly Newsnet which contains the latest news snippets from the world of cycling. Here's one which gives you some idea of what Chester could start to look like with just a little imagination - and political will. Why not send the hyperlink to your friendly neighbourhood councillor.If you’ve never visited Copenhagen, have a peek at what is possible when cycling receives the support it deserves.
