Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Haringey needs some Dutch courage
Mini-Holland bike-friendly schemes are transforming London. Hopefully eliminating the distressing sight of squashed cyclists.
For example you and your kids can now safely cycle along a protected lane from near Enfield Town Green Lanes down through Winchmore Hill and Palmers Green. Local petrolheads moaned but the council grabbed a big grant from the Mayor and used it.
But the lane comes to a shuddering halt at the North Circular ... and of course past Turnpike Lane you literally take your life in your hands going south.
Hope the new council cabinet will take a braver and more imaginative route towards planning than the last lot ...

The upshot is -
Motorists do bad things.
Motorcyclists do bad things.
Cyclists do bad things.
Even pedestrians do bad things.
PEOPLE do bad things.
It's pointless singling out one group over the others.

True, but the biggest impact of poor behaviour is the squishy and easily damaged human body - especially when it’s not protected by a metal box or crash helmet

Can we first get bikes off the footpaths. Perhaps the cycle lanes would help in this regard though.

When we have adequate cycle lanes, then they can get off the footpath. Until then I have no problem with people riding sensibly on footpaths
