I've nearly stumbled over the odd cyclist though.

The place has gone mad - young eco warriors, cycling everywhere,
convinced they're saving the planet, though clearly not themselves for
a ripe old age.

If they don't end up under a bus the fumes, worthy of any a sixty a
day smoker, will get them first and you just know they're all non-
smokers (why?) as well.

Mad as a box of frogs, the lot of them, and surely absolute proof that
a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing.


The congestion charge in no way deters me from driving into London but
the raised levels of stress caused by the idiot kamikaze cyclists
does.
