Goes all the way to 2020. Plenty of mentions for Spokes and CTC as consultees/stakeholders.</p> <p>Somewhat buried on the site mind you... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4084#post-42438 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:40:44 +0000 SRD 42438@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was trying not to mention that (hides under desk)</p> <p>road safety magic show "including 'be safe be seen', STOP LOOK LISTEN AND THINK and 'cycle helmets'." </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4084#post-42436 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:36:58 +0000 Instography 42436@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>But, but, but ... there's a road safety magic show! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4084#post-42434 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:29:17 +0000 cb 42434@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"On 10 November 2009 a presentation and discussion was held between the Council and the Edinburgh Cycle Forum.

The main campaigns are about double parking (drivers), pavement parking (drivers), and pavement cycling (cyclists).</p> <p>Yes okay these are all problems but really it's pretty uninspiring. Possibly something to do with the Council's powers/responsibilities? Presumably it's the police who are supposed to enforce the Highway Code, eg. safe overtaking distances. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4084#post-42429 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:15:41 +0000 Dave 42429@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I took a quick look, but it's (predictably/depressingly) "business as usual".</p> <p>For instance - there's not one single word that I can see in the driving section about cyclists. So from our point of view, almost the only significant intervention - getting people to drive safely around cyclists - is ignored, leaving just the crumbs around the edges of true "road safety" to be fussed over in the cycling section (which contains plenty of the usual apologetics, of course.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4084#post-42424 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:04:39 +0000 chdot 42424@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not seen this before</p> <p><a href="http://www.streetsaheadedinburgh.org.uk" rel="nofollow">http://www.streetsaheadedinburgh.org.uk</a> </p>
