Or, the challenge of delivering the infrastructure that would encourage women to cycle
“Design should begin with the principle that all potential cyclists and their machines should be catered for in all cycle infrastructure design.” – LTN1/20 (1.4.1)
Back this week to the topic of women’s safety on our streets and how we cater for women – and everyone else for that matter – to get out and about.
I note that Cycling UK are currently promoting the “My ride. Our right” campaign to get more women cycling, which is a laudable thing to do.
Let’s face it, there are lots of reasons why we should get on two wheels…
- It’s good for your health
- It’s good for the planet’s health
- It’s cheaper than running a car
- It’s often more convenient than public transport
… and we have the technology to do it… so why don’t we?
Let’s take a look in this week’s Sketch…
