Those of you who know me will know why this is dear to my heart.

Makes me sick to my stomach that there is no value attached to these people's lives and no care for the devastation caused for those left behind. But also think it's time for a big debate on how we reclaim our streets for cyclists, pedestrians and our children. Lorry bans, pedestrianisation but also a campaign against the Top Gear, petrol-headed individualism, we can so we will, bullshit that prevails in British culture. I also do not want cycling to be all about people riding too fast on expensive road bikes, with cramp-ons and lycra. I want it to be about my kids being able to ride to school, on roads that don't have cycle lanes and superhighways, and be shown consideration and humanity by their fellow citizens. It's about people being able to use different modes of transport for different journeys and being safer in whichever ones they choose to use. X
