Cue the article comments about a war on motorists. Mostly from people who don’t even live there.
I’ve been through Cambridge on the train, and there’s always a shitload of bicycles. Presumably it’s mostly students about who use them locally, because there’s no way you’d actually get more than a handful on the trains themselves.
Presumably they’ve also got security, because if they tried that where I live, some lad with bolt cutters and a balaclava would help himself to the lot and swap it for heroin.
I lived there. It’s not just students. Loads of people commute by bike - it’s the quickest way by a mile. It’s only really recently that the council have done more than pay lip service to cycling, though; until then the local pop cycled in spite of the infrastructure rather than because of it. They have the UK’s biggest cycle park at the main station but it’s basically a shopping centre for thieves (bike theft is really bad all round Cambridge) so I think they’ve brought in a key-only area that you have to pay to use. Same at Cambridge North.
