TWO.. Providing for cycling
What about off-road provision?
As mentioned earlier, the Campaign believes that cycling provision needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis.
Faster and more confident cyclists may still prefer to use the road, but in some cases, those new to the area or who are less confident on their bicycles are more likely to be enticed out of their cars by a safe off-road route into the city. This is similar to the way that some drivers choose to use motorways and some to use minor roads instead.
There is also tremendous scope for building more walking/cycling-specific links and connections. These shouldn’t be seen as an alternative to providing good on-road provision as they are effectively a different route.
For instance, the Jubilee Cycleway, going via the Green Dragon Bridge, acts as a pleasant alternative to the more direct but busy Newmarket Road.
