Removing motor traffic from city centre streets creates places where people linger, relax, dine and enjoy being outside. Places where families can safely ride their bikes, people of all ages can get safely around, and where streets are dominated by people, not cars.

London would be the envy of the world if it had the dutch level of cycle provision. It's so coherent and easy to use that it's a no brainier. The flatness helps but the wind replaces the hills .

also it needs to be said , hire bike schemes just make cycling more annoying , the bikes are shit and they get in the way. what works is creating proper bike routes , sensible bike parking options and removing taxes on bikes.

Massive impact on pm2.5 caused respiratory deaths and illnesses, much nicer environment, good for local services and social interaction. Yeah fuck that, stick a motorway through the middle and call it little America That’s the reform policy option anyway I imagine.
