Obviously they've got a long way to go and they're not perfect, but the city does appear to have taken on board what is needed and has started implementing it...</p> <p><a href="https://bikefast.org/2016/03/24/belfasts-new-cycleway-launched-video/" rel="nofollow">https://bikefast.org/2016/03/24/belfasts-new-cycleway-launched-video/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16433#post-221069 Thu, 26 May 2016 15:51:24 +0000 Min 221069@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That path looks very pretty in a very meandery sort of way. On the other hand, Belfast has some enormously wide roads that are given over entirely to cars. Many cyclists seem to prefer the pavement and I can't much blame them. It looks as if it would be super easy to take one lane away on each for segregated cycleways. I hope they are going to consider that in the future, otherwise what is the point? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16433#post-220885 Wed, 25 May 2016 10:55:59 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 220885@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"The Comber Greenway in east Belfast could attract hundreds of new cyclists if a £550,000 EU-funded project is successful.</p> <p>Belfast has been chosen for a major investment to promote cycling as a mode of transport, including an Active Travel Hub at Holywood Arches, smart cycle storage units and an e-bike pilot programme."</p> <p><a href="http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/environment/holywood-arches-to-be-active-travel-hub-for-550000-comber-greenway-cycle-pilot-project-34742322.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/environment/holywood-arches-to-be-active-travel-hub-for-550000-comber-greenway-cycle-pilot-project-34742322.html</a> </p>
