| Paul, I can see you don't agree with much of what I say but but can't identify any sort of counter argument. The vast majority of conceivable cycle journeys of any length will involve some interaction with traffic so it is reasonable to assume the vast majority of cyclists are able to cope with this interaction. I don't think you have thought through your point about children learning to cycle. Those little ones crossing the bridge will be learning to ride on the riverside paths. It'll be a minor annoyance if they have to dismount on the bridge but that will only be a small part of the length of the walk. Additionally, not everyone who visits the river at the weekend lives close to the Thames and you'll regularly see in the parking nearby families unloading bikes from their cars to go on a ride together. |
