Engineer Daniel Abrahams talks about the motivations behind, and intended benefits of, campaigning for better cycling infrastructure on our streets. He has co-founded the Edinburgh version of Critical Mass, which strives to improve cycle-safety on our streets through a pre-figurative approach: create a monthly cycling paradise and show people the benefits.
