Hmm. Lee said that well over 12 months ago, in a personal not a political capacity, and was not expecting to be quoted. I'm not sure that he was actually in charge of transport at the time (although he is now).
We had a long chat when he did get given the transport thing about what cyclists want, and I said a) prosecutions of shit drivers, b) lots of free training and c) NOT segregated cycle facilities AT ALL, because they encourage motorists to think that we 'belong' in separate facilities and running us off the road is totally cool if we're in the 'wrong place,' so I'm afraid I might be at least a tiny bit responsible for this.
I should mention that Lee is a good friend of mine...
