Many employers are still limited to Halfords and a £2k limit.. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21080#post-362886 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 21:08:35 +0000 chdot 362886@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A classic bit of missing markings -</p> <p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52281384682_64decb7307_c.jpg"></p> <p>Not only is this particular one *bad*, but also dangerous. </p> <p>There’s a left filter, and it’s on a bus route. </p> <p>Just great for a ‘new’ bike user. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21080#post-362884 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 20:52:45 +0000 chdot 362884@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“We must be close to tipping point now?”</p> <p>Unlikely</p> <p>There remains a small (and growing, but small) number of people who <em>choose</em> to ‘ditch their cars’ and not just because they can’t afford them. </p> <p>Over the next year it’s quite likely that more will give up cars mostly for financial reasons not cycling/lifestyle reasons. </p> <p>MORE people would just cycle if it was ‘easy’, ‘safe’ etc. </p> <p>No real sign of (much) better cycle provision any time soon. </p> <p>Cllr SA prefers PT, by which he means expecting SG to give him £1bn for a new tram line. </p> <p>SO MANY small things could be done for a fraction of £1bn. </p> <p>But once again so many small things - like repainting basic road markings - are revenue.
