Lancaster named UK’s most bike-friendly city; local cycling campaigners disagree

Erm, am I missing something here - I can see the headline, a picture of the (bloody horrible) one way system in the centre of Lancaster, then some completely unrelated tweets? Any text to go with the headline?

It sounds like a nonsense survey cooked up for publicity in 45 minutes on a Tuesday afternoon. Not worth an article, probably not even worth finishing this com

Some time ago I took the train to Lancaster as the starting point for a tour of the Yorkshire Dales.

When I rode out through the city I did not notice anything good or bad about the infrastructure.

However when I was riding up a hill just outside the city a white van overtook me just a little on the close side. A few seconds later a police car came alongside, wound down the window and an officer asked "Did that van give you enough room when passing?"

It costs nothing but creates such goodwill

Lancaster gets my vote

As far as I can see precious little real progress has been made to promote and facilitate cycling in Lancaster since I was a student there 25 years ago.

What has the cost of public transport got to do with cycle friendlyness?
