"We can’t go on in the present way much longer… let’s build little light bridges for cyclists"


Link to 'Roads Were Not Built for Cars'

"Think cars invented traffic jams? Not a bit of it, London’s streets have been clogged with traffic for a very long time. In 1905, before motor cars became popular, a newspaper asked:
"What can we do to relieve the congested state of the traffic in our streets? This is the question which has been racking the brains of the London civic authorities for years past.

As ever-increasing additions are made to the thousands upon thousands of vehicles to be pushed and squeezed through the generally narrow thoroughfares of the city, the task of solving the problem becomes greater in magnitude."
