Principles of Cycle Planning for Gloucestershire
John Franklin. Presented to a seminar at Gloucestershire County Council, January 2009.

Achieving Cycle-Friendly Infrastructure
John Franklin. Presented to the Cycle-Friendly Infrastructure Conference at the University of Nottingham, April 2002.
Towards Cycle-Friendly Infrastructure
Gerhard van Wyngaardt. A remarkable adaptation of the above paper for South Africa, suggesting that it is a problem across continents for cyclists to achieve respect. Presented at the Pedal Power Association Bicycle Integration Planning Seminar, Cape Town, June 2006.
Cycling facilitated
John Franklin. Cycle, June/July 2006.
Casualties on cycle paths
John Franklin. A letter to Sustrans. 1998.
(This letter, never intended to achieve notoriety, has resulted in a huge amount of feedback from both cyclists and the general public. Almost all of the feedback has been supportive of the views expressed)
Milton Keynes Redways and Leisure Routes

(The paper below has later data but lacks some of the detail)
Two decades of the Redway cycle paths of Milton Keynes
