[Closed] France to incentivise cycling post Lockdown :o)

Good start, needs much more investment, the payback will be much greater than the cost.
I saw a news story this week that the Scottish gov is considering pop up cycle lanes (as introduced by some other countries in the current situation) to encourage more cycling.

This feels like an opportune moment - but I wonder if we* will grab it with both hands or let the chance slip through our fingers????

*means the human race generally not cyclists/British etc....

Seems Chris Boardman is fully in agreement with you.

Could help until the clocks change at least.

I'm hoping promotion of commuting* ebikes (which I'm a big fan of) can be pushed to help convince people who lack the fitness or shower facilities at work.

*and stop flogging MTB ebikes, which are the devil's spawn in my opinion.
