Cycling friendly Cities show the way


With our new Tory Council already banging the drum for lots of road building it would perhaps be apposite for them to look at the latest video produced by cycling journalist Carlton Reid's media business www.quickrelease.tv.

'Cycle friendly Cities' is a 15 minute film about just that and needless to say, neither Hereford, nor indeed anywhere in the UK, is featured. Amsterdam and Copenhagen, with their established and still expanding cycling ethos do, as well as Bogaota in Columbia, where they have decided the car madness must stop. Here, 40% of cars are now excluded and once a year all cars are excluded. There is a low res version here on YouTube and a hi-res version on iTunes via www.quickrelease.tv; watch and wonder what could be. Also take a look at our article from last July - 'Copenhagen - City Of Cyclists'.
