| Bicycles galore - a natural overspill bike park |
Ever felt the guilt when giving a charity street collector a wide berth? Guilt rarely makes you do things, does it?
It's like that for the general UK populace when it comes to "promotional campaigns designed to encourage better travel behaviour" or to you and I : when people are asked to get out of their car and take up a sustainable travel choice, and particularly cycling. They give it a wide berth. They know they ought to, they might even like the idea of it, but - alas - [insert excuses here].
- I am in a rush
- I have no money for that
- They can stick to their own kind
- They are odd anyways
- Someone else will do it
- It's not my problem
- I'll just pretend I didn't see them

I have seen encouragement campaigns come and go and pretty much do bugger all. We need to build our way out!
