Just two weeks after opening, the east-west and north-south cycle superhighway roads were moving 5% more people per hour than they could without cycle lanes – and that number is increasing as more cyclists are attracted to the routes." </em></p> <p>Shame that the usual trolls are inhabiting the comments... </p>
