#Eurovelo is awesome, have been on short sections of EV1 and EV6 on holiday.

Long distance protected bike paths are a really big tourist draw and something the UK is lacking.

A time for peace: End the war on walking, cycling, and transit
Over the last hundred years, road lobby actors have shaped our built environment in ways that make us drive more, influencing policy to dismantle public transport and walkability, and to make the British people dependent on driving to do the basic things in life
Grant Ennis, Brent Toderian, & Tom Flood

The war on the motorist and 15-minute conspiracy theories are fiction. The truth is that there is a war on walking, cycling, and transit that has made a one-hour city the norm.

Over the last hundred years, road lobby actors have shaped our built environment in ways that make us drive more.

City Centre: bikes now 1 in 3 in rush hour

A Spokes traffic count in George Street and Princes Street on 24 September found bikes forming over 30% of all vehicles in the morning peak period, and over 20% at lunchtime. Other findings suggest a major boost to bike travel thanks to the Council’s Voi bike hire scheme.

Our count was conducted to add concrete evidence to current uncertainties over the future of both streets, with Princes Street likely to remain 4 lanes of tarmac for the some years to come and no funding available for the ambitious but extremely costly George Street proposals for a semi-pedestrianised ‘cycle street’ (albeit with significant motor traffic at times!). The money which had been intended for George Street will now go to repaving Princes Street footways with high-cost materials in what Cllr Lang termed a “glorified resurfacing project.”

Thus, whichever east-west route best suits a cyclist’s journey, Princes Street or George Street, cycling conditions in both look set to remain dire, with a major central gap remaining in CCWEL, the Council’s City Centre West-East Link, unless the Council thinks again.
