Drunken pedestrians are not a problem because they are slow moving and localised around pubs and clubs. Drunken cyclists will be flying out of every side road, and swerving onto the wrong side of the road to avoid drunken pedestrians and yobs trying to steal the bikes. Anyway, we shall see. |

If the Irish live up to their reputation, and are reinforced by all those stag parties brought over by Ryanair from London, any flaws should be thoroughly evident by the time London's scheme starts next year.
