Two facts: a straight line is the shortest distance between two points and once you study people for long enough the way in which they move in the urban space becomes quite predictable. When it comes to getting around a city by bike is the straight and most common route everyone follows the quickest and most enjoyable one? In this episode, we talk with British charity Sustrans about Quietways, a simple alternative to congested direct cycling routes involving less direct but more continuous, quiet and enjoyable bike journeys. Our host Thomas Slater took his bike to Quietway 2 in London to experience it in person and stopped along the way to ask other cyclists what they think of it.
