The Pedway: Elevating London Documentary by Chris Bevan Lee.

A fantastic new documentary by film maker Chris Bevan Lee looks at the City of London’s Pedways in detail. Beautifully shot, and with some fantastic interviews with the men who were involved in designing and building the Pedway plan, we thoroughly recommend it.

The lesson for people on bikes? Be wary of planners and engineers with no track record in providing working solutions for cyclists who come bearing “bright ideas”. That is to say, if you need help, be sure to ask the right people.

For details of an elevated cycleway that was actually built in California, see Carlton Reid’s fascinating article on his Roads Were Not Built For Cars blog.
