Cycle lanes in urban areas: for and against

Some cycle campaigners favour cycle lanes everywhere: the more the better; the more road space we can take from cars, the better. Others favour integration everywhere, asserting cyclists’ rights to use any road a car can use, often in parallel with campaigns for more severe penalties for dangerous driving. I shall advocate integration, wherever possible, and discuss where that might be. More on risk and hypermobility on John Adams’ website: http://www.geog.ucl.ac.uk/~jadams/publish.htm
