You might not have realised it, but March is Bikes on Trams Month - well, it is in a small corner
of Sheffield. Hugh McClintock & Dave Morris of Nottingham's School of the Built Environment have
put a survey of attitudes to future integration of bikes and trams up on their website - please go
there and fill in the form, it's at

will do. I live just near the tram lines and have been wondering about carrying bikes on the NRT. I
often cheat and get the robin hood line into Nottingham £1 / 6 min = no sweat :-)

In Sheffield, Stagecoach Supertram have agreed to allow us to conduct a survey in two parts. We
will spend a day on the trams looking at whether the space is available to carry bikes,

out of rush hour I would have thought so with the amount of empty busses skeeting about between 9:30

and at the same time do a survey of passengers to find out what their attitudes to bikes on
trams are.

guess ! these will be the same (local) passengers that shouted, spat and fought for the tram to be
banned as an eyesore, unnecessary, messy, noisy, complete waste of money etc, but who are now
rubbing their hands with greedy glee at the 30% increase in the value of their homes (over and above
the national hyperinflation) which has resulted in 30k houses shifting pronto for 80k

and the tram hasn't even gone live yet.

In terms of integrated transport I noticed that all the buses in Vancouver had bike racks on the
front of them, absolutely superb.
