8. '..do not base policies about walking and cycling on the
views and experiences of existing committed cyclists
and pedestrians. These are a minority who have,
against all the odds, successfully negotiated a hostile
urban environment to incorporate walking and cycling
into their everyday routines. It is necessary to talk – as
we have done – to non-walkers and non-cyclists,
potential cyclists and walkers, former cyclists and
walkers, recreational cyclists and occasional walkers
to determine what would encourage them to make
more use of these transport modes.'

29. • Nothing must reduce cyclists' right to use any road.
• No lorry should be allowed in London unless it is fitted with safety equipment to
protect cyclists, and driven by someone fully trained in cycle awareness.
• Timid, half-hearted improvements are out [re segregation] - we will do things at
least adequately, or not at all.
• We will ask for new powers to carry out camera enforcement of mandatory cycle
lanes, to stop cars driving in them.
