Bristol third best city to cycle in according to survey
Bristol is in the top three of the most cyclist-friendly cities in the UK, according to a survey.
The city came third on a range of criteria including bike thefts, accidents, cycle routes and bike-repair centres compiled by Virgin Money.
Second on the list was Norwich, and at the top was Plymouth.
Cambridge – noted as a cycling city – came only 60th in the list, hampered by the high number of cycle thefts and serious injuries.
Similarly, theft and accident levels kept the City of London at only 50th and Greater London only 56th, despite the London Mayor's "Boris Bike" initiative.
Graeme Tones, of Virgin Money, said: "Cycling continues to increase in popularity and is a major contributor to improving general health and easing traffic congestion. Government and local councils are doing their best to help more of us to get on our bikes through tax incentives, cycle parks and cycle paths.
"Every town and city in the top 60 can be pleased. Reducing the level of accidents and serious injuries requires responsibility from cyclists, care from drivers and the desire from towns and cities to make it easy and safe for people to get on their bikes."

'War Is a Racket'
Tom: Smedley Butler's classic characterization of the war system includes not only the corporate interests that profit from the planned, systematic slaughter of innocents but, as you point out, those who were the on-the-ground functionaries. Just how lucrative the retirement racket is for the participants is reflected in the fact that two of the most [...]
Obama's spending record: Who's telling the truth?
WASHINGTON -- When a website affiliated with the Wall Street Journal ran a column earlier this week that claimed that under President Obama, “federal spending is rising at the slowest pace since Dwight Eisenhower brought the Korean War to an end in the 1950s,” it didn’t take long for the claim to catch fire.
