"Shelved" but not forgotten

[perlmonger]

Bristol Council announced yesterday that the plan to use part of the Bristol to Bath bike path for bus rapid transit has been “shelved” - not abandoned. This isn’t victory yet, but it’s a cause for cautious optimism. Today’s protest and celebration is still happening!

Timetable for today (times in BST :)

» Cyclists gather from 11am in Queens Square for a 12am sharp departure

» Walkers and trundlers gather at Fishponds, by Morrisons, for a 2:30pm departure, reaching the Bristol end of the path at about 3pm, then heading for College Green for the rally

Be there, or be somewhere else.

And very fine it was too.

Ah, I guess that was you at College Green then.

Never having met you, I wasn't sure and didn't feel like making an arse of myself asking a total stranger if they were JH-R (I was the guy in the cycle helmet and red shirt with a Nikon round my neck and a Claude Butler between my legs).

And yes, it was very fine :)

Hard to tell. Blue Bolle safety glasses, red/black Aldi bike jersey, DPM strides and a disturbingly shiny SCR2? I had to beetle off sharpish since I was getting a bit lightheaded and had come out sans money.

I'm sure we'll work it out one day.
