Thought I'd revive this one.
A lot has happened (and remains the same) since the original article -
PoP/2, Leith Walk, NMW tactiles etc.
A problem remains - 'we' are a minority of a minority and (arguably) should be ignored anyway!
Whether or not you want/approve of large amounts of segregated infrastructure, there still seems to be a massive disconnect between various Government(s)'s 'targets' and the resources required to make them vaguely possible.
Also there remains a general 'disrespect' that I don't think the forthcoming Cycling Scotland 'respect' ad campaign (£400k) will alter much.
