A few years ago, this cycle track didn't exist. It was fought against vociferously by many people. Yet it's now used by tens of thousands of Londoners a day. Cities change.

If you want to see kids cycling to school, you need fewer cars. It's that simple. The time for traffic calming is over. Every new scheme should aim to take car journeys off the road.
