Cyclists fear 'ban' in city plans

Oxford Times, Sun 15th Feb 2009

"Dozens of cyclists met Oxfordshire County Council’s transport chief to have their say over plans to transform Oxford city centre.

The meeting was part of a consultation process over plans to pedestrianise much of central Oxford.

About 35 riders, including a large contingent from campaign group Cyclox, turned up at the Town Hall to get their view across.

Cyclox spokesman James Styring said: “There was nothing in the Transform Oxford proposals about cycling and we want to make sure that if they pedestrianise roads, they don’t end up banning bikes.” more story and add your comments
