$100 million for British cyclists with your vote
My apologies if this has been posted before but I think you'll all agree this is important for cycling... not just in Britain. I've repeated this post in "General Cycling". Please bump this to keep it up the top...
Mods: Are you able to "stickie" this on all forums?

You may not live in Britain, but you could help us win $100m to transform 79 communities across the UK. The BIG Lottery Fund has unveiled the final shortlist for the People’s £50 Million Lottery Giveaway. The contest will be a public vote which will see one project of national importance win a grant of £50m. The Sustrans Connect2 project is the only national project out of four finalists.
Sustrans stands a stunningly good chance against what are worthy but highly localised projects. Sign up on the Connect2 website to be reminded to vote online from November 26th onwards.

For any that do not realise it- Sustrans are building a Cycle network- Or attempting to- right the way through Britain. It is a non- profit organisation and all I can tell you is the experience in my area. The main one is that they have managed to get an old Railway line upgraded to a MUP- with a good walking and cycling surface to it. That is the main one that most people see and a heck of a lot of people use it. The unseen side- Unless you are a cyclist- is that they have found and signed- Cycle friendly routes across our area. Backroads that are relatively car free and sometimes building paths to connect various Cycle routes. The signs are not only for the Cyclists- They also warn motorists that they are on a cycle route so can expect to suddenly find them on the road.
A worthwhile charity- or I think so- That is pushing cycling strongly in the UK.

This is only the 5th reason that would impel me to move to the UK, but a worthy one at that.
