It's about various cities trying to increase cycling levels. A sample
quote:

"
What has also been discovered worldwide is that accident rates have
dropped wherever cycling has gained momentum, as cars are forced to slow
down and as they become more accustomed to sharing the road.

"We're seeing a lot of people willing to try this and now it's getting
safer as we get critical mass," said Silka Kennedy-Todd, an official in
London's transport office. "The number of accidents has roughly fallen
in half as the number of cyclists has doubled."
