Hi PeterI am not sure your argument stands up empirically. Where have high levels of cycling been achieved without compromising safety and without cycling infrastructure?RegardsKatjaHello all,my co-author Tom Andrews and I are writing a book on the deeper roots of conflict between motorists and cyclists, and how this links to land appropriation, modern colonial and imperial patterns of land use, 20D town planning and traffic engineering, infrastructure, jurisprudence of roads, automobilities &c.Right now we’re trying to begin addressing aspects of this cluster of issues by trying to better understand causes of conflict and differentials of harm and vulnerability.In this article, we’re taking some of the wisdom from primary prevention, based on what the best evidence suggests are the greatest causes of harm in Oz...- the driver is drivers, we argueso change laws in ways that acknowledge this as the root cause or problemrather than keep insisting on expensive infrastructure and high tech gadgetsfor us this is less about ‘cars v bikes’ as it has been framed in Murdoch news media, and more about universal access to safe, sensible transport, which we don’t think should be the privilege of those with the bodies and wallets to drive cars.If you like it, please feel free to share and Tweet it, and if you’re interested in this framing, we’re especially interested right now in getting perspectives from different countries in and outside of the Anglosphere, as well as those OECD countries where road deaths are highest, which appears to correlate with colonial-settler geographies.sincere thanksPete[log in to unmask]
