On the live blog at lunch: “This must win a special award”: Is this the most blatant piece of bike lane parking you’ve ever seen? Plus: 2023 Transcontinental route unveiled, Extinction Rebellion’s cycling protest hattrick + more cycling
, the 2023 Transconti will start in one of cycling’s true holy places, Geraardsbergen , on 23 July before heading deep into the Alps on the way to the welcoming warm waters of the Aegean Sea for a finish in the Greek port city of Thessaloniki.
The age-old town and gown debate, a staple of public discourse in the UK’s ancient seats of learning, has been repackaged in Cambridge this winter, where a controversy over a proposed congestion charge has apparently been boiled down to a simple dichotomy: ‘the gown on bikes versus the town in cars’.
According to the proposals – introduced by the Greater Cambridge Partnership , a body made up of local councils, the University of Cambridge and business representatives – motorists will have to pay £5 when travelling into, out of or within Cambridge between 7am and 7pm on weekdays . The GCP hopes the charge will increase cycling journeys by up to 60,000 a day, reduce traffic in Cambridge by 50 percent, improve air quality in the city, and fund “significant” improvements to public transport and cycling infrastructure .
