  • Resumen

  • For episode 78 of the road.cc Podcast, we donned our reading glasses, grabbed our bikes, and headed over to the National Cycle Network, that underfunded, unwieldy, often fractured, but very important collection of routes used by cyclists across the UK and which forms the subject of Laura Laker’s brilliant new book, Potholes and Pavements.

    Part one features an in-depth behind the keyboard chat with Laura, a respected journalist and longstanding road.cc contributor, discussing her inspiration for the book, the pros and cons of the NCN, how to make cycling infrastructure better, the cycling culture wars, and why riding a bike is really all about the people we meet along the way.

    We then turn our attentions in part two to the upcoming general election, and what its outcome may mean for cycling and active travel, with Dr Maya Singer Hobbs, a senior research fellow at the Institute for Public Policy Research, a think tank that earlier this month claimed the UK was “travelling in the wrong direction” when it comes to transport.
