  Reducing traffic speed is vital to making cycling safer, and thus more popular, according to John Whitelegg, Professor of Sustainable Development at the University of York in the UK.
  
  Professor Whitelegg is also the sustainable transport adviser to the Lancaster Cycling Demonstration Town project, which is committed to doubling cycling levels over a three-year period. He recently conducted seminars in Australia on local initiatives for sustainable travel and didn't pull his punches in outlining the priorities for safer cycling.
  
  "From a safety point of view, the obsession with helmets is misguided," Professor Whitelegg said. "Cycle proficiency courses, separate paths and end of trip facilities make a difference, but even they have less impact on people's decisions to cycle than their sense of safety on the streets."
  
  Professor Whitelegg has worked for 25 years on transport, environmental and sustainable development issues in the UK, Denmark, Germany and Australia, as well as consulting in a number of other countries.
  
  "Areas where speed limits of 30kmh have been introduced have shown marked increases in the number of pedestrians and cyclists," he said.
  ...
  Professor Whitelegg found in his research with motorists that, in the UK at least, 80 per cent of them are generally prepared to support lower speed limits when they see the impact that the higher speeds have on the number of fatalities, especially child deaths.
  
  "Motorists are on the whole reasonable people, especially when presented with the information about the impact of higher speeds," he said.
  ...
  According to Professor Whitelegg, a great deal of rhetoric and "greenwash" is produced by governments all over the world about the need to encourage cycling but the reality is quite different. The problems associated with road traffic danger are compounded by poor road maintenance and engineering that often confines cyclists to uneven surfaces strewn with broken glass and litter by the side of the road. He said that even when there are official bike paths they frequently abandon cyclists at a difficult junction or a roundabout where the cyclist is exposed to peak danger.
  
  One effective solution, according to Professor Whitelegg, is for transport professionals and policy makers to get on bikes.
