Getting many more people on bikes frees up both road space and seats on public transport, making everyone’s life easier. Well, not strictly everyone. </p> <p>To make cities more attractive for cyclists they must necessarily be made less attractive for car drivers, with low speed limits on side roads and bike-permeable barriers to stop rat-running. This is a hurdle too far for most British politicians, which makes Johnson’s efforts in London, however flawed they are in part, also deserving of some credit.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2015/sep/30/leave-class-out-of-the-london-cycling-debate" rel="nofollow">http://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2015/sep/30/leave-class-out-of-the-london-cycling-debate</a> </p>
