A “train of cyclists” could regularly make frequent trips along a busy road.
Campaigners have presented proposals to Brighton and Hove City Council to allow regular mass bike rides on Lewes Road.
Under the plans, the daily scheduled ‘train’ would take over a lane and ferry people between the Level and Falmer.
Lewes Road for Clean Air presented the plans to Brighton and Hove City Council as a way to reduce the 18,000 vehicle movements which the Department of Transport state use the road every day.
Roger French, of Brighton and Hove Bus Company, said: “I think it’s a crazy idea."
Could a “cycle train” work? Tell us what you think below.
