The power of cycling recognised and to be made law


Recently a speaker advised that should you wish to retire a decade before your contemporaries with your health intact and your bank balance even healthier then don’t buy a car.
Dr Paul Tranter.

That piece of advice came from the Associate Professor and Geographer in the School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences at the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence for Force Academy, Dr. Paul Tranter.

The costs of owning a motor car are, for most people when examined clearly, honestly and objectively, financially disabling.

The chorus of advice about the practicality of bicycles as personal transport is world-wide and now Beneath the Wisteria supporter, John Pettigrew, alerted us to this article in Britain’s “The Times” headed - Safe cycle lanes to be made law in Wales.
