Redland green to hampton road, then aberdeen road to cotham hill, briefly up to woodland road, all the way down to park row, one way over park street and at work. The only cycle city facility is the Redland Green path, and that's through a park.SteveLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654931341335136008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803191245171285795.post-80607806540903722952011-03-09T15:33:04.670+00:002011-03-09T15:33:04.670+00:00Just done some digging on Cllr Gollop.

A commute of 2.7 miles – extremely cycleable and actually a nice route. <br /><br />But, he is an important accountant and so probably drives this I am sure showing his commitment to the motorists rights, despite the Whiteladies road congestion on that route. <br /><br />A true hero.Rhode Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14915552340092347797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803191245171285795.post-73240877824123896392011-03-08T20:32:22.020+00:002011-03-08T20:32:22.020+00:00I can't think of one example where the above q...I can't think of one example where the above quoted "to the detriment of motorists" is true.

The BBC news article quoted Geoff Gollop whos words below will surely raise a cheer to all Bristol Traffic readers.<br /><br />"The leader of the opposition Conservative group on Bristol City Council, Geoff Gollop, said the new cycle routes were to the detriment of motorists.<br /><br />He said: "The Cycling City initiative brought in match-funding which has delivered new cycling routes but these have largely been achieved at the expense of the majority of road users - by reducing road space or capacity. <br /><br />"Whilst we recognise the merits of promoting cycling as a leisure activity for the individual - delivering personal health benefits and helping to improve the environment for all - this form of travel is unlikely in the near future to be a major means of commuting.
