The thing is, it's already been done: IT'S CALLED A BICYCLE!


And 99.9% of journeys are made on other forms of transport. Tell you
anything?


Yes, that most people are lazy and stupid.


And you really think ranting about bicycles is going to change that?

And yet you get there, door to door, faster than by any other mode of
transport.


Motorcycle is the fastest mode of transport through London. They keep
running these tube vs bus vs car vs motorcycle vs bicycle competitions
across London and the motorbike just keeps winning. I ride a motorcycle,
my choice. I wear a grands worth of safety kit, I get wet and I don't
believe for a second that it's the answer to London's mass transit problems.

If you believe bicycles are the answer, you haven't thought the question
through.


On the contrary - and i haven't just thought about it, i've done it!


Aren't you glad to be one in a thousand... Or is it one in ten thousand?
I forgot.
