Cycle lanes save lives
according to yesterday's Grauniad leader:
"In London the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured on the roads has fallen by nearly a third in the last decade, mainly because of bicycle lanes" http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...128180,00.html Must be true then. |

Response to POHB:
"In London the number of cyclists killed or seriously injured on the roads has fallen by nearly a third in the last decade, mainly because of bicycle lanes" http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...128180,00.html Must be true then. Not to mention "riders have to first study and inwardly digest a notice on the handlebars which states: "I will stop at red lights, I will respect one- way streets." Fat chance of that, or of many of the 22,000 people who used the system on the first day wearing he#@*£NOCARRIER -- Mark, UK "I have found people to be more kind than I expected, and less just." |

A young cyclist was killed not far from here at the start of the month by a turning builder's lorry as she rode in a cycle lane. The road layout is shown here, along with a brief article in French: http://www.velocite-movies.com/image...40707grand.jpg In French law, the use of some cycle lanes (marked with a *round* blue sign) is compulsory, and this is one of those.
