Public money being invested in cycle planning and tracking apps for Glasgow:</p> <p><a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/transport/smart-lighting-and-route-app-to-get-residents-on-their-bikes.21516413" rel="nofollow">http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/transport/smart-lighting-and-route-app-to-get-residents-on-their-bikes.21516413</a></p> <p>Also, "smart lighting", which sounds like normal lighting, but more expensive.</p> <p>What real value could a Glasgow specific cycle planning app have over cyclestreets/google. Also, why would you use an app that tracks routes used by current cyclists to plan infrastructure investment - given these people are the hard core cyclists used to heavy traffic (although they may take sub-optimal routes to avoid the worst traffic) - meaning infrastructure is based on routes most non-cyclists may not want to use.</p> <p>This is what valuable cycle funding is spent on. I despair. </p>
