Hoy cycle network for Edinburgh approved, and he could campaign against Scottish independence

Thumbs up to creating cycle routes, though it should not take a weel kent sportsperson to get it done.
Thumbs down to the politicizing of the issue, creating cycle routes has eff all to do with Independence.
Hoy has already made his position clear though by accepting the ridiculous archaic knighthood moniker.

Plenty of good cycling routes in Embra that could be incorporated into a cycling network. Certain key routes aren't very good for riding on two wheels and the old cobbles are 'interesting' in the wet but there are a lot of back streets with low vehicle traffic levels.

The tram fiasco has hlighted problems in the city for all road users. Anyone who has tried driving a car through the centre of town will be aware of the problem. It's enough to give anyone a meltdown and I don't know how the bus and taxi drivers manage. The council memebrs responsible for this hugely expensive mess should be ashamed. Embra has one of the bus networks in the UK, so why the tram was needed at all is open to question. A train link from the airport would've done the job just as easily and all it would've needed would be a spur from the main line to Turnhouse - not difficult to build either as it would've gone thru some manky brownfield/industrial areas at Ingliston.

Speaking as a Scot, I hope Hoy treats Alex Salmond and his drouthy cronies with the contempt they deserve. No prizes for spotting the literary reference.
