Hi Everyone

 

Anyone heard anything about Cape Town expressing an interest in appointing a "bicycle mayor" in 2017?

"'We plan to inaugurate our first 25 cycle mayors in cities as diverse as Beijing, Sao Paulo, Chicago, Cape Town and Warsaw. It will result in a yearly conference, starting in Amsterdam in 2017,' said CycleSpace co-founder Roos Stallinga."

 

While im imagining a john Waynesque character tickets people who park in bike lanes and clearing out that hotspot where the PPA has advised against cycling, Im curious to hear everyone's views on this, and if anyone else is aware of further developments?

I like this part, but I think a Judge Dredd type character is what we need!
