Vilifying cyclists is not helpful and those with the power to influence should be more careful about the damage it could do.
I understand it can be frustrating when someone on a bike slows you down in your car, but it’s a rather selfish view of the world, as motorists don’t own the roads. Sharing roads with motor vehicles is scary and I’m an adult, so it’s no wonder 14-year-old Belfast schoolboy Finn Bryan feels that way too. But there is a way to keep everyone happy - build cycle lanes which I am sure the ever growing number of bike riders would be only too happy with.And I really welcome the new active travel hub at Ulster University and secure bike parking in CastleCourt. But this is just tinkering around the edges.
It is vital to reducing congestion, reducing air pollution, and helping us meet our climate targets. But only if those up on the hill deliver what’s really needed - and that’s an active travel network that gives walkers, wheelers, and cyclists safe and convenient routes around our city.
