    Two new cycling reports which will be roundly ignored, saying all the things we already know:

    - people want safe segregated routes; build them and people will use them
    - bikes bring business, especially to local shops

    Article about them here: http://www.bikebiz.com/news/read/government-publishes-go-dutch-cycling-reports-but-ignores-them/019348

    From BikeBiz article -

    "

    The academics who created the tool and did the literature review warn that “building small amounts of infrastructure in isolation, where a wider cycle network remains poor and cycling levels are low, may have relatively little effect.”

    Instead, “it is important to follow desire lines and where needed improve the quality of the surrounding cycle network.”
