Mr Musey rules out a vision of mass cycling in Enfield because “when it comes to choice between a bicycle and a car, the car wins every time” (‘Councillor’s cycling vision is flawed’, Opinion, March 4). I guess he should have added “except in actual numbers”.
Annual bicycle sales in the UK have been constantly nudging four million per annum over the last decade; car sales only come in somewhere above half of that figure. Cycles also outsell cars in 22 other European countries.
So perhaps the real issue is that people just want the chance to safely use this huge number of cycles, for why else buy so many.
