Around 32-38 minutes there's a discussion of transport choices ranging from shoe/bicycle/motorbike/car/plane (on an exponential scale).</p> <p>Perhaps that analysis doesn't apply to the 1st world, but there has been a bit of discussion of pavement cyclists on BSO that don't fit the middle-class image of, for example, current UK cycling. <a href="http://thinkingaboutcycling.com/tag/pavement-cycling/">Dave Horton </a>has posted on this topic, I think.</p> <p>Always interesting none-the-less, to explore previously unexamined privilege, prejudice or bias!</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12930#post-155905 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 21:47:23 +0000 SRD 155905@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone can ride a bike, right? </p> <p><a href="http://wabikes.org/2014/06/02/personal-privilege-biking-it-takes-more-than-a-bike-lane-to-start-riding/?utm_content=buffer65e8e&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer" rel="nofollow">http://wabikes.org/2014/06/02/personal-privilege-biking-it-takes-more-than-a-bike-lane-to-start-riding/?utm_content=buffer65e8e&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer</a> </p>
