It must be a different Jeremy Clarkson!

I liked this bit - maybe psycholists can learn from it:

"In Britain cycling is a political statement. You have a camera on your
helmet so that motorists who carve you up can be pilloried on YouTube. You
have shorts. You have a beard and an attitude. You wear a uniform. Cycling
has become the outdoorsy wing of the NUM and CND."

"In Copenhagen it's just a pleasant way of getting about."
============================================= ==

"Just a pleasant way of getting about" is what cycling should be. A bicycle
is a tool for doing a job, that's all. It's not something to be worshiped
and taken your bedroom at night like some of the weirdos do in this group.

Wow! Again I agree. Though if you have nowhere better to store your
bike, a spare bedroom works well.


Yep - complete with dog ****.

I don't know about you, but I find the road has less dog poo on it
than the pavement. Another excellent reason to use the road for
cycling not the pavement.

Indeed, while I can recall many unfortunate moments when I have
trodden in dog poo, I cannot recall once having cycled through such
mess.

Perhaps your experiences are less fortunate than mine.
