well done Redingensians!

Local rag reports today a drop in town centre traffic, and allegedly a *25%*
increase in cyclists around Reading!

Whilst all statistics should be treated with some caution, I do think there
are more of us in the city[1] these days - and not even conforming to
stereotypes. I have seen youngsters on 'bents and Bromptons, old people on
BMXs, scally teenage types wearing h*lm*ts - everyone from ravers and tokers
to the town preachers is getting on their bikes - this can only be a Good
Thing!

[1] The municipal authorities are now determined to call it such, even if
this is "disrespecting the Queen".

We've increased the number of cyclists by up to 200% per bike!

Does anyone know why it happened? If it was, for example, because of
mass layoffs in downtown offices, or the opening of a new suburban
shopping centre, that would not be a good thing.
