people don't just use one mode of transport do they. People I know cycle into the centre for work because its easier, quicker and cheaper than driving. They might then use their car for a longer journey or to leave the city. Don't forget this is also for the benefit of people who don't drive (children, young people, frail elderly). Well said. Anti-car? Yes I am, when there's no need! 75% of all trips we make are under 4 miles. We all need to get out of the habit of reaching for our car keys every time we need to go somewhere. I cycle to work and for short trips, or walk, when i drive my car I should and do expect it to take longer. The average speed at peak commuting times is under 10mph anyway. We must prioritise people's walking and cycling facilities and make cars wait and take third place. I am happy to wait, I don't have the expectation that I should have priority over every other mode of transport. Petrol is over 6 a gallon, I choose very carefully how I use my car, we all have that choice, yes public transport needs improving, yes cycle infrastructure needs improving. Less traffic benefits everyone's environment and our children will thank us for it. I really don't see this working. Driving round Bristol at 30mph I am regularly overtaken by cars and vans doing well in excess of 40! If you have a 20mph limit I think
