A Modest Proposal #2: Bristol Promenades Routes +
We've been given agreement to share with you some plans that we have been helping with for Promenade Routes in Bristol. These are a set of proposals by John Grimshaw to enhance all of Bristol’s waterside quays, towpaths and walkways to create popular promenades to further promote walking and cycling in the area.

So we at Bristol Cycling have put together an unapologetically technical article in an attempt to shed some light on this. Why does energy matter?

A Modest Proposal #6; Eight to Eighty cycling on Gloucester Road +
Did you know that Gloucester Road was one of Bristol’s busiest cycle routes (Building on success – lessons from Gloucester Road)? What’s more, the number of people cycling has doubled in the last ten years whereas motor vehicle numbers have dropped by a fifth. These facts can be seen from Department for Transport Traffic Counts. So what does this tell us? Bristol’s Cycling City money has been well spent? Not quite.
