They're obviously very vulnerable, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
and a large number have disappeared already | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
without us really realising it, | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
so we need to get a handle on the situation | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
and try and reverse the declines | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
in the areas where they're still nesting. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
Looking at Amsterdam, for example, as perfection, | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
where they spend, I think, £15 per person per year on cycling, | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
where is Belfast in relation to other cities in Europe? | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
Are we at the bottom, the middle...whereabouts are we? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
We're a 50p city. We're bargain basement. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
Money... A lot of rhetoric, a lot of noise, a lot of hot air, | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
a lot of rhetoric, but really no serious commitment yet. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
There are some things, | 0:10:16 | 0:10:17 | |
but they haven't really moved into the mainstream. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
10% of the transport budget should be spent on sustainable transport, | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
looking at reducing speed limits to 20 miles an hour, | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
to make it safer to cycle, | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
and also to put in cycle lanes that were coherent and safe | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
and didn't end up throwing you off the cycle lane at a roundabout. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
CARS TOOT | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
There has to be a long-term commitment to sustainable transport and to cycling. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:42 | |
And we have to accept the roads have to be made safer. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
Danger does not come from cycling itself - | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
danger really comes from motor vehicles. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
It's not just about making streets safer for cyclists - | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
it's making streets safer for everyone. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
BUZZING | 0:15:58 | 0:15:59 | |
People are wakening up and becoming aware of their heritage | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
and the fact it is worth preserving. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
Something that wasn't used just a few years back is now being used | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
extensively, because we have counters on the canal | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
and we can have anything up to 1,000 people a week walking the canal. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
So they're all very aware of it and they use the canal | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
and watch the wildlife and study the biodiversity. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
And school groups come out. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
And they're getting in touch with their...past and their industrial heritage | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
and all that it would mean if it was reopened again. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
The mind boggles at the small businesses that can grow from this, | 0:22:34 | 0:22:39 | |
like bicycle hire, restaurants, tour guides, servicing of boats - | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
it's unlimited, you know, what can happen when this canal opens. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:47 | |
