In a quirk of history, the ‘safety bicycle’ & the internal combustion engine car were invented within a few months in 1884-5. The bicycle’s success was more immediate (there was an 1890s ‘bike boom’). However, the‘slower burn’ invention, the car, has been far more radical & profound for our towns & cities. Now many think this has had disadvantages as well as advantages. Are they right?

It is important that landowners cut back their hedges and trees to the boundary of the highway
Hitting your head on an overhanging branch or walking into overgrown hedges is a huge problem for blind and partially sighted pedestrians
