BICYCLE MADE FOR WHO?

BRITISH CYCLING BUREAU IS ATTEMPTING TO ENCOURAGE HIGHWAY AUTHORITIES TO INCLUDE CYCLISTS IN THEIR PLANS. A COMBINATION OF HEAVY MOTOR TRAFFIC AND VERY LITTLE SPECIAL HELP FOR BICYCLES HAS RESULTED IN A DIMINUTION IN THE NUMBER OF CYCLISTS IN BRITAIN. PER SQUARE YARD, A CYCLEWAY COSTS ABOUT ONE-SIXTH OF THE AMOUNT OF A ROADWAY. FOR MOST CYCLEWAYS 12 FT IS AN ADEQUATE WIDTH, SINCE THE MAJORITY OF THE FLOW WILL BE TIDAL. SIXTEEN BICYCLES CAN BE PARKED IN PARKING SPACE. /DOT/
