Overselling on both sides of the argument I fear. No substitute for informed debate. I start from the notion that slowing traffic down, however much there is of it, on all but the major arterial routes must be a good thing. Not just for cyclists but also pedestrians, noise and pollution levels. Having run the Putney Society Transport Panel several years ago I learnt that any scheme involving traffic flow, parking and the like always excites praise and opposition in equal measure. Hence the pros and cons need to be argued out before the signs go up (or not!).
