There’s too many blogs out there full of moaning/car driving hating etc…
It’s nice to read something positive, let’s face it most of us cycle for fun not to start a war!

Comes of being Guardian reading Champagne socialists. They can’t decide whether to be an extension of the nanny state or eco mentalists.

1 – cycling is shiny, joyful, green, healthy virtuous activity enoyed by increasing numbers, petrol evil, muscle power saintly
2 – cycling is an extraordinarily dangerous activy indulged in by lunatics who are themselve dangerous, it is an activity only to be attempted with armour and after being properly trained, and certainly not suitable for children to do alone

meanwhile two or three times a week I peacefully ride my bike in london and the outskirts…quite fast, with lots of other ordinary people.. just going places.
