It is just that not all Edinburgh residents have realised that this is a good thing... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15636#post-211053 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 11:22:55 +0000 neddie 211053@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I vaguely remember some stat saying that x% of Edinburgh residents want good cycle facilities built even if that means taking away space from cars, <strong>as long as it doesn't take away "my" parking space(s).</strong></p> <p>FTFY </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15636#post-211041 Fri, 05 Feb 2016 10:56:34 +0000 UtrechtCyclist 211041@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I vaguely remember some stat saying that x% of Edinburgh residents want good cycle facilities built even if that means taking away space from cars. I looked for it in bike life but couldn't see it, does anyone remember it or where it's from? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15636#post-202365 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 14:24:27 +0000 Stickman 202365@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not mentioned in the EEN yet. I suspect that they have their clickbait story today (Princes St cameras) and don't want to confuse the frothers with another one. It'll make an appearance tomorrow no doubt. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15636#post-202345 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:09:43 +0000 crowriver 202345@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Perhaps, given the size of the survey sample, it is rather more tricky for journalists to disbelieve and play the usual "upping the ante" game of stoking controversy? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15636#post-202343 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 12:56:52 +0000 Greenroofer 202343@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's just been on'You and Yours'. Interestingly, in a reasonably long segment we heard from two cyclists and from Sustrans and that was it. There was no 'balance' about how cyclists always ride on the pavement and run red lights.</p> <p>Maybe the tide really is turning. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15636#post-202323 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 10:44:27 +0000 Morningsider 202323@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Full survey results here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.sustrans.org.uk/bike-life/edinburgh" rel="nofollow">http://www.sustrans.org.uk/bike-life/edinburgh</a></p> <p>Very positive results - lets politicians know that most people have favourable views on cycling. Helps counter the vocal ranting of EEN commenters and their ilk. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15636#post-202305 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 09:34:47 +0000 crowriver 202305@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>According to BikeBiz:</p> <p>"ICM Unlimited carried out the survey and interviewed a representative sample of 11,016 adults aged 16+, ensuring at least 1,100 were questioned in each city.

It was a decent, if too short, little package, so didn't have time to fit in any anti-cycling cliches. Hopefully this represents some sort of tipping point. Cue the angry backlash of the dinosaurs. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15636#post-202298 Wed, 21 Oct 2015 08:20:46 +0000 Kim 202298@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Survey: <a href="http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/13883903.Survey__Edinburgh_residents_want_more_money_spent_on_cycling/">Edinburgh residents want more money spent on cycling</a> as reported in today's Herald </p>
