Sir Brad - "Cyclists aren't going to go away"

Wiggins was in London, speaking at the launch of his new range of children's bikes. He told the newspaper how impressed he was with the early stages of the new East-West Cycle Superhighway, describing the project as 'superb'.
QUOTE:
"People are aware at the moment that there is a boom in cycling. But as that boom becomes the norm and 20 years pass we may get to a stage where we're like an Amsterdam. I can't see it not happening, to be honest. I just think governments will put initiatives in place, like the new bike highway they've got down on Embankment, things like that."

When in the capital, Wiggins says he frequently gets about on a Boris Bike ("if it's not raining") and he increasingly feels there's safety in numbers for cyclists.

"Although it's quite hectic in London, chaotic, there's a lot of cyclists. You never feel alone. I always feel like you're part of a group. There's enough cyclists now, people commuting, that you're not a minority any more. That's a good thing."
