There was a good article about "Ghost Bikes" in the Guardian on Saturday. These are bikes painted white and left where a cyclist has been killed.

See this article for more details.

Coming from the Netherlands, having lived in the Rushcliffe area for the past 5 years, it amazes me how few people actually use a bicycle for day to day use, especially in the current climate of high fuel prices and enviromental issues.
Before anything can be improved i feel their need to be 2 fundemental change to create room for a major expansion in cycling activities.

1. A cyclist should always be considered right by law.(same in the Netherlands and it works!)

can anybody help volounteer ideas or time into this bike based project?

Larry.

please, would someone be brave enough to try and tackle the cyclepath on the last stretch of the ring road, from the Five ways pub to the junction of the ring road and mansfield road - on the northern side where the fields, bowling green and new flood plain are.

Cycle Training Provision for Half a Million Children by 2012

A record £140million Government investment in cycling, announced by Ruth Kelly, Secretary of State for Transport today, is set to help half a million children cycle safely and a generation of adults rediscover their bikes.

There was an article in the Two Wheels section of the Guardian yesterday about Warrington Cycle Campaign's (http://www.warringtoncyclecampaign.co.uk/) book of crap cycle lanes, which I thought would be worth looking at (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crap-Cycle-Lanes-Warrington-Campaign/dp/19030705...).

Mind you as a long standing reader of the Idler magazine who came up with Crap Towns, I'm fed up with other people nicking their idea!

Hugh,

Hi, I'm a final-year undergraduate from London.
I have noticed a bad development here at the University of Nottingham.
This year, many people cycling to the science end of campus have discovered a serious shortage of cycle spaces (only about 50 racks) compared with 150 car spaces in the same area. Gavin from Estates Office claims to have spent £30,000 on extra racks outside the main library but it's still not enough to keep up with surging demand. Security patrols have been heavily stickering "incorrectly-parked" bikes on lamp-posts, trees, and railings.
