• There is strong political + technical leadership
Traffic engineers tend to do what they’re told
• Cycling is considered a form of transport, not just for fun
This makes it central to my job; not a nice-to-have
• Loss of traffic capacity or parking isn’t a veto
It’s a big hurdle, but one we face rather than duck
• There is a network of fit-for-purpose cycling routes
Horses for courses; don’t worry about branding
• If necessary, it’s OK to start cheaper and quicker…
You can upgrade later if you need or want to
• There is good, widely accepted + routinely-used guidance
This ‘seals the deal’ and helps ensure consistency

• For all times/directions, ~a third of cyclists on RCS were
women, c/w ~a quarter on the alternative streets.
• For all times/directions, ~three quarters of cyclists on RCS
wore normal clothes c/w just over a half on the alternatives.
• An appreciably higher proportion of women (+/-13%) were
observed on RCS c/w alternative streets at the same time
and in the same direction.
• An appreciably higher proportion of people (+/- 16%) on
RCS cycled in normal clothes, compared with alternative
streets at the same time and in the same direction.
• Few young or old people (<18 years and >60 years) were
observed on any street, though the proportions were
appreciably larger on RCS than alternative streets.
