Cycling Infrastructure of the future

Author: Ian Monoghan If you are talking about sustainable transport you have to talk about bicycles ? the most sustainable form of transport we have. I'm all for investing millions of tax-payers money into carbonless fuel and alternative energy forces, but we have a mode of transport, already proven, that is 100% sustainable and it is in dire need of government investment in Cycling. Think about how we travel ? most of us, whether we are train users, drivers or bus users, use major arterial routes to get to train stations, under ground stations and bus terminals. But in order to get to these services we drive ? there are millions of cars across the UK that spend all day parked in a train or bus station or indeed on the side of the road while the owner uses these services to commute to work.
