Any and all help appreciated.

Beyond Mr Franklin -as easy as riding a bicycle but.....

Dear All,

I need your help.

I have not participated in a forum here previously but have a small problem and  I would appreciate some help with it.

Quite simply - 

If you were asked by a reluctant or returning rider for a book or video about how to ride in UK on roads, what could you recommend ?  

I've read Mark's blog and agree that Mr F is not quite right on some points. Is there an alternative?

Looking forward to your views 

Many thanks

Pj

Use of Strava and PCT data in planning routes for cycle lanes and superhighways

The planning of cycle routes in London has often been based on the principle of looking for 'quiet' roads. Too often, these are on quiet backstreets which are probably quiet because of their indirectness. This seems a bad principle. The post-2015 Cycle Superhighways are based on the much-better principle of building segregated cycle lanes on strategic roads that provide direct origin-to-destination links. When it can be done this is surely the right thing to do.

Bus-stop bypasses/Floating bus stops

Apologies if this is much discussed elsewhere, but I need some fairly urgent support.

Edinburgh is slowly bringing in some infrastructure that will necessitate bus-stop bypasses.  Some members of the local group of Living Streets Edinburgh, are very opposed to these.  I have tried to influence these discussions as best I can, but there is still some hostility and suggestions that we need to 'wait and see' how they work in London and elsewhere.
