Some stuff about how it's not really prioritising the bicycle properly and that it's just a not very well-thought out fix (and probably political). Some people saying it's totally daft in such a city. One person (I think but it's very idiomatic) is saying that it's a vanity project which doesn't serve the poor areas where it might be most necessary.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12973#post-156682 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 22:06:53 +0000 neddie 156682@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Couldn't read the comments, as Google translate couldn't see them</p> <p>\o/ </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12973#post-156676 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 21:37:27 +0000 Klaxon 156676@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It may be 'only' paint but it's a fantastic colour and wide as well </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12973#post-156670 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 20:18:48 +0000 Nelly 156670@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They need it, its IIRC the worlds most congested city, 200km traffic jams etc! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12973#post-156636 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 15:00:25 +0000 algo 156636@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The (relatively recently) elected mayor of São Paulo has promised 400km of somewhat segregated infrastructure there - estimating a cost of 80 million Reals - something like 22 million pounds. I think it's mainly paint - you can see him cycling the first 1.6km here, but it's nice to see this as a priority in Brazil as well as from Peñalosa in Columbia...</p> <p><a href="http://espn.uol.com.br/noticia/416732_plano-de-400km-de-ciclovias-e-iniciado-com-trecho-no-centro-de-sp-bike-e-legal?timestamp=1402335422356" rel="nofollow">http://espn.uol.com.br/noticia/416732_plano-de-400km-de-ciclovias-e-iniciado-com-trecho-no-centro-de-sp-bike-e-legal?timestamp=1402335422356</a> </p>
