The point I made was sensible and uncontroversial: China is the world's biggest emitter by a long way, and if their emissions are about to peak then reduce, that matters. I will not be subject to juvenile point-scoring from you.

I'm looking on from England's largest county where we don't have a single metre of dedicated cycle track of any width, but
I liked cycling along the Embankment in September on a Santander Cycle.

Good to see a new Toucan crossing in Harrogate.
Shame they have set it to prioritise drivers.

This is the Ugly: a narrow, painted cycle lane in between two traffic lanes on the approach to a busy junction. How would you redesign this? 3/3

There are plenty of contenders for the Bad, including the narrow painted cycle lanes on High Bridge. Another is a preposterous cycle path that starts about 10m before a roundabout and chucks you back onto the A-road about 20m after it 2/3

I've been looking at cycle infra in Knaresboro, and here's the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
The Good is a modal filter which prevents rat-running from new housing developments through older housing estates towards the town centre. (It should really be the Brilliant) 1/3

(1) Clean energy is great but burning wood at Drax is NOT clean energy, it's a carbon accounting trick that covers up vast quantities of GHG emissions.
