It turns out it was all a waste of paper and a waste of my time taking part in the consultation. The council now say regarding the Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council Cycling Strategy: "Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, as a district local authority, has no responsibility for cycling strategy and, therefore, does not hold the information requested."

#Basingstoke Borough Council's 2016 Cycling Strategy had a target to double cycle trips to work over 10 years. I should probably contact them to ask how that's going given that between it and the subsequent LCWIP, nothing really has changed in terms of producing joined-up high quality cycling infrastructure.

this seems like a gimmick, but if it can persuade more motoring parents to let their children cycle or walk to school then great. I also dislike the use of the word "superhero" to describe anyone without magical powers.

Correlation does not mean causation. But I think this bears further looking into.

unimpressed with a campsite that I am thinking of booking. They forbid cycling on their internal roads including the road to the shop for the safety of other campers, obviously they don't forbid cars or camper vans on those roads because they're safe.

Folks,
¿If you were having made bicycle bumper-stickers (sic), for the top tube of your average bike (ie not a Cannondale), how tall should they be? One inch? Inch and a half?

This is a neat idea: redundant chains instead of a derailleur. Only one set of ring, chain, sprocket is engaged at once. Buffalo bike designed places and times where bike infrastructure is sketchy.

'Its breathtaking scenery makes it one of the UK's most famous driving roads, but there have been warnings that Snake Pass could close to cars indefinitely. What is the future of this long and winding road?'

Cycling campaigner Harry Gray: 'believes it could be turned into a cycling and walking route similar to the Monsal Trail.'

"It was frustrating this week to see 11 new cycling offences proposed by the government (out of 13 new traffic offences)"
"With someone killed or seriously injured in motor traffic collisions every 20 minutes in England the legal system, police resourcing, public education and enforcement are woefully inadequate."

It sounds like Strava want to block 3rd party apps that display your info to others, which is most of the ones that I have ever used. Surely you should be able to opt-in to data sharing?

https://communityhub.strava.com/developers-api-7/api-agreement-update-how-data-appears-on-3rd-party-apps-7636

"Third-party apps will now only be allowed to display Strava activity data related to a specific user to that user. Partners will be required to update their app within 30 days of November 11th to align with this new standard."
