Safe cycle paths
I've written in the past about cycle protests that I've attended in Dublin where the ask was for safe protected cycle lanes.
Here in Malaga, the local council introduced fines for cycling in the city streets in certain pedestrianised areas but did nothing to provide safe cycle lanes in replacement. This in effect means that they expect families with young children to drive on busy roads with fast traffic and it also means that delivery cyclists and couriers are receiving fines for just doing their jobs. Many delivery cyclists load up their bullit style bikes with large loads of packages for deliveries - they would be unable to push their bikes with the loads that they carry. Personally, I think this was a big mistake on the city's part and after all the years of seeing increases in cycling and a reduction in car usage, this fine system will reverse all of this positivity.
Yesterday there was a protest cycle to call for safe cycling infrastructure, so Ciaran and I enjoyed the other 2,500 people who got out to call for this.
Here's a few pics from the event - and you can also see more here on Facebook.
