It clearly calls out for the banning of all cars and cyclists in the area with the spending of several £billions on trolly buses. PS. I'm only joking Leeds Council. Please don't take my idea seriously! PPS. I wonder why crossings are named after animals? There is/have been at least pelican, puffin, zebra and panda. A curious bird is the pelican.It's mouth can hold more than its belly can.

Hi Phill.I did not know about the acronym. I learn something new every day. Well I try to but I think I forget more each day than I learn new, though with my memory I'm not sure I would know what I have forgotten. My brain hurts!

There are a lot of (too many?) web threads and books on 'Crikey - look at this silly bike lane'.But Local Authorities have to play the game and get funding for the "X miles" of cycleway they provide.And central government has to play the EC Game too, we signed up to it.Here's a 1976 Prophecyhttp://youtu.be/Alld4Og2sTESo I resolve to get over it and enjoy all the cycle lanes provided.
