Glasgow to get cycling czar.

[GBC]

Excellent news! Glasgow has promised to make cycling the largest participatory activity in the city by the year 2020, and has appointed a ‘cycling czar’ to make it happen.

The czar is Frank McAveety, a Labour councillor now, but who lost his seat in the Scottish Parliament last year, and who says that he has a "love/hate relationship" with bikes. So that’ll be alright then

So, they've appointed someone to write up a document about how wonderful things will be in the future.

Forgive me for being sceptical, but would it not be better to actually allocate some funds to build the necessary infrastructure?

They'll have to go a long way to beat walking

Even larger than going to the pub?
