Dear All
As you as are no doubt aware, the Get Britain Cycling report was released this week. The full version may be found here.
I would like to throw the debate open to CEoGBers about what you all think of it? Do you feel that it is a far reaching report that we should embrace or does it not go far enough and why.
My personal view (and not CEoGB's) is that, although good in some areas still has the fickle hand of compromise written all over it and seems to have been heavily influenced by CTC, especially where we see items such as 'Cycling Action Plan' which always makes my heart sink. We don't need more reports or action plans, we just need action and cycling being accepted seriously as a mode of transport requiring it's own network would be a good start. I don't think it's a bad report but I wasn't punching the air when I finished reading it.
Anyhoo, over to you!
