Streetsblog is a nice little NYC based blog about creating a more walkable, bikeable New York. It has a good post about the different views of the MSM in London and New York toward bikes.
And here's more about London in the Post. It's about the expansion of the congestion zone. Conservatives are blaming bikes (and buses) for clogging the streets.
Livingstone counters that traffic in central London has dropped by 20 percent. But congestion has risen in the zone, which Livingstone blamed on construction crews clogging streets. Conservatives on the London council say new bus and bicycle lanes are the reason.
The Congestion charge
The once-a-day charge operates between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays. Residents inside the zone get a 90 percent discount, something Taylor's group complains will encourage more traffic between the two zones and add to congestion.
is not so popular:
nearly 40 percent of who described themselves as "very dissatisfied" gave this reason: the congestion charge.
