ONE.. Why Cycling?

Cycling... ...is just as much a legitimate form of transport as cars, buses, and motorbikes. Cyclists are just as much road users as those behind the wheel.

As such, the needs of cyclists are as important as the needs of motorists and should be given increased status when traffic schemes are being designed.

This means, for example, that anything which seems silly to a motorist is likely to seem silly to a cyclist and anything which holds up a cyclist or makes their life difficult should be considered as seriously as if a motorist were being disadvantaged. Yet, as we demonstrate later, this is often not the case. Obstructions, lack of continuity and so on are the norm and do nothing to encourage more people to get on their bikes.
