Cycling Embassy response to Superhighway 5 Consultation

Posted by Mark Treasure on Sunday 14th of September 2014

We support the principle of the Superhighway 5 plans - providing safe, attractive conditions for cycling through this area - and would like to see them go ahead, albeit with some reservations about the details and designs of the Superhighway in a number of locations.

An open letter to Guide Dogs

As chair of the Cycling Embassy of Great Britain, I write to you regarding your #cycleyes campaign, which has been attracting a good deal of media attention recently.

I would like to emphasise that your concerns about cycling on the pavement are our concerns too. Cycling on the pavement suits nobody. It's bad for pedestrians (especially those who are partially sighted, or blind) and it's bad for people cycling too. Few would choose to cycle on a pavement shared with pedestrians if they had a safe and attractive alternative.
