area with pedestrians, including old people, children and mothers with prams in

Years of government efforts to promote cycling have had almost no impact
on a skeptical population who largely view bikes as either children's toys
or the preserve of Lycra-clad hobbyists, a university study has found.
"Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a legitimate mode of
transport; it is either a toy for children or a vehicle fit only for the
poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster University, wrote in an
interim assessment of the Understanding Walking and Cycling study.
"For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail to see its purpose,
and have no interest in integrating it into their lives, certainly on a
regular basis."
