Join Facebook group Build proper cycle lanes in Brighton

Brighton and Hove has many cyclists but, like many UK towns, does not have many dedicated and safe cycle lanes. Where they do exist, many are simply white lines painted down the side of a busy road.
Many people would cycle if it were safer to do so and this would have tremendous benefits. For example:
Improving physical health
Improving mental health
Reducing pollution
Reducing CO2 emissions
Reducing traffic congestion
Reducing road accidents
Reducing household expenditure on fuel and car maintenance

We should lead the way and make them the best in the UK! Why not use the millions collected in parking fines and spend them on building proper cycle lanes?

Or on subsidising buses, which more people use? Oh, they do that already...
Or they could use it to get the homeless off the streets, or something less irritatingly middle class wankery.

If I were a councillor, I'd demolish 100 yards of cycle lane for each group member.
If the group got over 1000 people, I'd re-use the concrete to build a large waste incinerator in Queens Park.

You have missed the point; the group is about making it safer to cycle around Brighton by separating cars from cycles. It is certainly not a debate on ecology or whether it is wanky to cycle.

Really. I'm genuinely interested. Where will you put these lovely new cycle lanes, if not as a lane by the side of the road?
Please bear in mind that the most dangerous cycle lanes are the ones along the seafront, sharing the pavement rather than the road.

I fucking hate cyclists. As I ride my scooter through London everyday I have to deal with them a lot. They jump lights, ride down one way streets, cut people up, run pedestrians down, every possible road offence in fact. I have a number plate (and London is CCTV’ed to the max) so I don’t get an opportunity to do anything of the like. Am I jealous? Maybe...
But what winds me up more is the how these serial road abusers (who wouldn’t think twice about running an old lady down on the lights if it meant not breaking their cycling momentum) consider themselves so self-righteous about everything. Yes, you’re not using petrol. Well done. But that dosen’t give you the right to behave like a cunt.
Cycle lanes my arse.

Yep, there are certainly some b**stard cyclists that would knock you down if you walked into the cycle lane.
As I said, a curb between the cycles and cars would be good and would make it [nearly] impossible for cars to park in the cycle lane (as they do along Lewes Road).

Yup. Precisely right.
Though I didn't buy a council home, I bought an ex-council one. So too late. The council were hardly likely to buy it back were they?

I agree with Kazza on this. I would deffo cycle in Brighton if it were safe, but it's bloody not. I used to live over the hollands and the cycle lanes were fantastic with their little cycle lane traffic lights and cyclists all adhered to the highway code.
Perhaps if cyclists that misbehave were actually prosecuted less of the pisstaking would go on. This morning I had to stop at a pedestrain crossing in Preston Park to let a teenager cross on a mountain bike. Cunt.
Anyway, yes indeed, the seafront cycle lane is a total fuck up and a danger to all, whether cycling or pedestrianising. You need a foot high barrier or something so people don't wander.
Also Brighton seafront needs trams
I have a hangover that is really bad

I was driving through Seven Dials yesterday morning. A pedestrian crossing went to a red light, it was morning rush hour so lots of kids crossing the road. All the cars, naturally, stopped.
The cyclists didn't.
Cunts.
