I feel this is an important video from the good folks at . When I was blogging about cycling at Cardiff By Bike I was spending more and more time trying to make these points to anyone who will listen/read. Feel free to share with anyone you know in

Everything You Thought You Knew About Roads is A Lie

@gavin57
The council for the car-addicted Swedish town I live in has just shelved plans to build a new bus station because, it would, er, brace yourself, be built where there is currently a car park.

@bestdeadends I can’t say I’m at all surprised there. 😂

@gavin57 will be watching later. Possibly relevant… I was always puzzled by anti-cyclist motorists because almost everyone cycling instead of driving is reducing congestion … making the roads better for drivers (apart from the odd delay to not kill someone on a narrow road)

@daycoder It mostly seemed to come from the tabloid ‘journalists’ who try to lead with division. Cyclists vs drivers is a classic wedge issue for tabloids to milk for all it is worth, never mind the additional agro we people on bicycles would face as a result.
