FIVE.. Reallocation of roadspace
On-road cycle lanes
In order to increase cycling levels, transport planners need to start designing cycle lanes that meet the government’s recommended width of 2 metres
The attitude that says a 1m-wide strip of road, barely wider than a set of handlebars, is acceptable must change.

Our hybrid cycle lanes proposal (images below) demonstrates the way the councils should be headed.
