You are also committing a lot of time and effort to improve conditions for all of us cyclists and, in a way all road users, and that deserves our support.<br /><br /><br />See you at POP2!<br /><br />IanIannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805138158441245701.post-2891385302566789882012-12-05T23:01:41.073+00:002012-12-05T23:01:41.073+00:00Just recently started reading.
Back on bike recen...Just recently started reading.<br /><br />Back on bike recently for commute in Glasgow and doing some web research after some hairy incidents. None quite as hairy as yours in the doc tonight though! THought you came across as very reasonable, shame they didn't include much about infrastructure that you've spoken about on here.<br /><br />Enjoying the blog, thanks!euanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672855890232884851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805138158441245701.post-41214826413007122472012-12-05T22:41:26.995+00:002012-12-05T22:41:26.995+00:00I didn't think the documentary was that bad.

And I don't blame then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01143865296905244397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805138158441245701.post-12718184166222990042012-12-05T06:48:12.370+00:002012-12-05T06:48:12.370+00:00Me too!

Would not have dreamed of cycling for transport until that happened.<br /><br />I agree with you on the need for proper funding for cycling. My wish is for Scotland-wide cycling infrastructure implemented to Dutch best practice. Dare to dream!<br /><br />I don't agree that people "choose" to drive everywhere. They do it because it's overwhelmingly the most convenient (and sometimes the *only*) option. That hasn't been a "choice" on the part of the public - the streets have been specifically (re)designed to make it that way. Time for that to change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805138158441245701.post-75814764896086991232012-12-04T21:39:24.152+00:002012-12-04T21:39:24.152+00:00I read your blog.

But that is the norm in today's society, everyone, sorry 95% of the population is on concerned with their path, road, light, existence. We live in an extremely selfish world. And it's getting worse.welshcyclistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805138158441245701.post-36444463236045537992012-12-04T21:23:56.759+00:002012-12-04T21:23:56.759+00:00I do!
