Good Cycling Facility of the Week: 20th February 2014

The good infrastructure here isn't just the wide, red asphalt cycle path that is there. It's also what isn't there – snow.

Maintenance is an important part of any transport infrastructure, and here you can see that the snow has been cleared so that the cycle path remains usable. If this didn't happen then fewer people would choose to use a bike for their journeys.

Thanks to David Hembrow for this photograph. For more about good cycling infrastructure in winter weather, see his blog posts here.
