They are whingeing about petrol prices again!
 

Fortunately this hardly affects cyclists at all.

When will these car addicts ever learn that motoring is costly and it
goes with the territory. If they don't like it then they should not
have chosen a lifestyle based on car dependency in the first place,
instead of perpetually whining about their habit.

There are actually some people who cannot ride a bike, due to problems
with balance, orthopaedic problems etc. They should not be stigmatised.

I am not moaning about high petrol prices as

a) I work for an oil company.
b) I get a staff discount
c) I hardly ever drive anyway.

Win win win.

They cost more but it's hard to fall off a recumbent.
