The sessions covered a wide range of themes: </p> <p>* the need for a political, cultural, and financial step-change in cycling policies<br /> * merits of reducing speeds<br /> * encouraging new people to cycling from a broader cross-section of society<br /> * designing in cycling facilities to new road schemes and designing out danger in older ones. </p> <p>A Report, including key recommendations, will be written by the respected Professor Phil Goodwin and is due to be published in mid-April."</em></p> <p>You can get a fair idea of Goodwin's character from <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8465383.stm">the Beeb in 2010</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8823#post-89836 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:30:52 +0000 chdot 89836@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> The All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group (APPCG) is calling for evidence for an inquiry entitled: “Get Britain Cycling”</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.allpartycycling.org/inquiry" rel="nofollow">http://www.allpartycycling.org/inquiry</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/cyclesafety/article3590034.ece" rel="nofollow">http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/cyclesafety/article3590034.ece</a> </p>
