This week's Good Facility is Sidney Street in Cambridge city centre - an example of an (effectively) pedestrianised street, that allows cycling throughout the day, in both directions.
Bus stop bypasses have been in the news recently, so we wanted to reiterate that they do exist in Britain, and can be designed well (although this isn't always true!).
London has a long way to go to achieve the Mayor’s objective of a cycling revolution. Only 2 per cent of journeys in London are made by bicycle. This falls short of other UK cities like Bristol, Cambridge and Hull, and it is significantly less than the Netherlands – where 26 per cent of journeys are made by bicycle – and Copenhagen, which sees 36 per cent of work and study-related trips cycled.
