As part of the mayor's official advisory board for a new scheme to make the city safer for cyclists, architectural expert and NLA chairman Peter Murray has been appointed patron for the borough of Kingston.

Alongside Roger Hawkins of Hawkins/Brown and Sunand Prasad, both of whom have been assigned different boroughs, he will provide design advice for the proposed project.

Each borough has been awarded mini-Holland status, a reference to the successful implementation of cycling infrastructure in the nation of bicycles. 

An avid cyclist, Murray rode across America last year to look at how major US cities are addressing certain challenges cycling communities face in dense urban areas, as well as to experience the country from a two- wheeled perspective.
