Cycling for a Few or for Everyone: The Importance of Social Justice in Cycling Policy

For those of you following the debate between Vehicular Cyclists (VC) and bikeway advocates there is a good point and counter point articles in the World Transport Policy & Practice newsletter. For me much of this debate is like the bike helmet debate, so while sure I recommend wearing a helmet it should not in anyway supersede information in regards to riding safely. The amount of bike crashes reported that are riding against traffic is appalling, better to ride where drivers are looking and prevent an accident then rely on a helmet for "safe crashing."
