What do you see in the future of active travel infrastructure in the UK?
The first 5 years of my adult life I avoided learning to drive because Edinburgh was just about good enough for a fit cyclist to get everywhere they needed.
Ideally infrastructure and city planning will improve this to the point that everyone can comfortably manage, through walking or cycling, to go most of the week without having to use a car.
