I agree with Robert, it would be great to signpost a safe (safest) route across the central city. This would be a great start! I can also see great potential for themed cycle routes later on: art, nature or heritage trails. Maybe a even a Gap Filler cycling route? Anyway, I would be happy to pitch in!

Would be really helpful if a route could be found across the central city that doesn’t involve taking one’s life in one’s hands by using a one way street . Would the authorities be too upset if a temporary line was drawn on some footpaths which allowed a shared pedestrian /cyclist arrangement ? . These are difficult times for everyone and small and innovative projects which can help to make things a little easier even if they bend the rules a bit should be considered . After all , the footpaths are being used to cycle on anyway, just would be good if it could be safer for all and formalised .
