In "our towns and cities", all the authorities need to do is install
extra sets of totally unnecessary and gratuitous traffic lights and the
average speed of motor traffic will fall as a result, whilst the average
speed of cyclists won't.

And we all know why that is.

Somewhat unlikely as the comparator used was a self reporting group of
MAMILS and Tour de Peckham angry young yobs in rainbow sunglasses who
put their journey times on Strava so they can be king of the small
piece of rising ground just outside Euston. Apparently they achieved
a speed of just over 16MPH. A more realistic speed for utility
cyclists is 9MPH.

I used to fall off at 9mph!
My average was about 16-18mph.

But not when you admitted blasting past schools breaking the speed limit.
I've a long memory.
How's the new job going Simon?
I hope that you are liking it.

Speed limits do not apply to bikes in 20mph zones.

How's the new job going Simon?
I hope that you are liking it.


It has shut down until next week.
When it starts up, I will get a call.

Are you sure about this as bicycles are classed as being a road vehicle?
If you are, please supply us with a cite for your statement.

I thought his call had already come, but he failed at that too.

Yeah well and things.
He is pushing 60 years of age and nobody wants you at that age.

I meant the call from above, not the job centre.
