I'm going to Denmark next month to see the extensive infrastructure
provided for cyclists in Odense and Copenhagen. This is an excellent
introduction to European best practice: http://www.eco-logica.co.uk/pdf/wtpp13.3.pdf.
Check out the woman cyclist being done for traffic offences - quite
right too!

A marvellous bit of planning that leaves most cylists weaving into the
narrow pedestrian area.

Bad cycle lanes put in to tick a box without any thought are dangerous
for all road and pavement users :(
