thetimes.co.uk - So much for the Bradley Wiggins effect. Britons may be keener than ever on cycling, but they remain hooked on cars and increasingly dependent on vans. The causes include inadequate public transport and the boom in door-to-door delivery for internet shoppers. The effects include road congestion that is worsening faster than new road-building can ease it, but congestion in itself is a mere inconvenience. The pollution it creates costs lives. It is a public health emergency that the next government must take seriously.
