How long to like a new car?
Oh about 2 minutes.
Nice comfy seats, radio, air con, protected from the weather, no effort required, nice stereo, high status, high speed travel, intrinsically very safe. What a viable form of transport they are. -- Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike is a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport. |

What a viable form of transport they are. not according to the 2008 figures: 18048 people died from external morbidity causes (not illnesses) only 2676 of those died in traffic accidents of which 1111 were in their vehicles. falling over killed 3459, 3438 killed themselves (intentional self harm) so as I read it vehicle accidents are the third major cause of people dying through external causes, so it might be best to attack the two higher causes of unnantural death before car driving. since most people are too lazy to look up the figures they are he http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datab...ortality-rates |

And of course when you compare these figures to the 30,000,000 motorists each doing an average of 10,000 miles a year - you get 'intrinsically very safe' -- Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike is a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport. |

I've heard it claimed that a ****wit cyclist thought it was a good idea to overload a bike trailer by 200% and drive through complex junctions during rush hour. Of course, nobody would take any notice of a **** like that. -- Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike is a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport. |
