Introduction
Hypothesis
People use the cycle lanes more during weekdays than over the weekends.
The following is a fieldwork project looking at the cycle lanes in Broadstone. A cycle lane is a section of the road, which is only allowed to be used by cyclists it can also be a specifically marked path running through the woods. The lanes on the road are divided from the road using a white line; signs usually indicate the beginning and the end of the lanes.
The part of the cycle paths that I am concentrating my survey on is part of the Castleman railway (see map on page 1).
All around the world people are aware of the fact that pollution from cars, factories and other such man-made machinery, is causing permanent to the planet. Something has to be done to cut down the number of cars and to improve the environment. People nowadays are conscious of the fact tat that as a human race in total, we are becoming much lazier and lacking fitness due to the modern technology that we possess. The growing congestion of vehicles is beginning to become a major dilemma. Organisations, such as Sustrans, are trying to solve these problems by promoting and creating cycle lanes. Sustrans plans to complete a National Cycle Network that will be 7,000 miles long by the year 2005. It will create "safer routes and a healthier environment". But not enough people are moving to this type of transport, as it is less effective in the sense that it is much slower, and bicycles do not yet have the right of way in Britain, unlike Holland.
