Party Vibe

I’m surprised the traffic authorities don’t think of all the road users; as thats what they do in NL and some bits of DE (and also in the more modern cities of Japan, where they have the roads, bike paths and pedestrian paths all carefully set out so the old people, cats and dogs can walk around safely and get to the metro)

Bike paths are good but if they are not watched carefully young men in particular will try and make a race track of them (that is even happening in London with the new paths).

I saw a film about Münster in DE where they have very good bike paths, but everyone must obey the rules; and there were two cops on bikes who stopped everyone who didn’t behave well (and they had to immediately pay €60-€100 depending on how many traffic laws they have broken!)

Some bits of London were becoming like that with new cycle lanes, but they got Police officers on bikes to patrol the areas and discourage people from riding badly.

it was discovered the worst of the riders were often involved with gangs and robberies, and they tended to steal the bikes they rode anyway so by catching these people the cops managed to reduce the total amount of crime in that area!
