Original title: Report analyses impact of street changes Linked report

Initial findings show that overall, retail spending has not been negatively affected by changes to street layouts.

Encouraging to see that this hasn't significantly affected consumer spend in these areas. Hopefully this would lead to less resistance to other such schemes in the future.

What stands between us and proper biking infrastructure?

Is it simply a case of money, or do people need to reconsider their lifestyle (e.g. no carparks outside shops in commercial areas) in order to make it work?
