Found this - Shropshire
In Shrewsbury at the weekend there was a 'mass' ride organised with a focus on encouraging children to ride bikes - the event was called 'Kiddical Shrews'. It looks like over 200 people took part and seems to have been a great success.
All good stuff.
However, one councillor (Richard Marshall) has made the following comments -
"Let’s not forget however important it is to keep the roads safe for all users, in a rural county the car is the most used and most important mode of transport"

Ironically the councillors' 'job' is "Portfolio Holder - Highways and Regulatory Services".

I love the way the Post front page headline puts the focus on the bus driver losing his job rather than the scooter rider almost dying.

3-watt drag reduction at 48km/h (30mph). How many people are realistically going to get that benefit on a gravel bike?

It certainly arrived several years too late... but it would have failed anyway, the lever feel and performance of the whole system was just awful....

Sadly, Cllr Marshall is a classic reactionary ostrich. From reading his interactions on twitter I get the impression that he's not the sharpest tool in the box. He's a long way out of his depth with the Highways portfolio .
I'm told that Shrewsbury's first ever Kidical Mass event was a huge success, rustled up in less than 3 weeks. Super job everyone!
