There's good news for cyclists in Wales, where a new law requires councils to ask the populace where they want cycle lanes etc. A very commendable idea, but the proof will be in the lane building as they say.
Meanwhile, in the slightly faster world of Formula 1 Bernie Ecclestone and his media chums are selling up for 6.4 billion pounds, not an inconsiderate sum. You could build a few cycle highways with that I would imagine. This will but the commercial rights to F1 which has been an extraordinary financial success story. Whether that is good for the sport is another question, and one that would probably bring a resounding 'no' from most others in the F1 world. Very few sports seem to be able to balance commercial demands against all the others, with commercial always coming out on top.
