Let’s Rescue Britain’s Forgotten 1930s Protected Cycleways

“In the 1930s, Britain’s Ministry of Transport commissioned the building of 500-miles of protected cycleways. Between 1934 and 1940 at least 280-miles of these innovative cycleways were actually built, usually both sides of the new “arterial roads” springing up all over the country.

Some of these cycleways still exist, but they are not today understood to be cycle infrastructure: they should be rededicated. Others are buried under a couple of inches of soil: they could be excavated. ”

Let’s all help Carlton reach funding for this ambitious journalistic endeavor by kicking him a few bucks at Kickstarter!
