Are you a complete idiot? Cars no longer needed? So how long would it take you to go from Kent to Corwall in an electric buggy? -- Dave - the small piece of 14th century armour used to protect the armpit.

And probably a bit poofty too :-) What inferiority complex? Completely wrong about height & sexuality as well.

Why is Simple Simon limping? Oh, he shot himself in the foot again. So, there aren't 23 million cyclists, there are 23 million bikes? When you make up these figure, at least try to make them believeable. There are roughly 22 million dwellings in the UK. According to you every single one must have a push bike. Thats the problem when you try to make a point, cyclists are unregulated, so there are no accurate figures. BTW, the 12k figure isn't based on my personal local experience, it is a national average statistic. My personal local experience is 8k. -- Dave - the small piece of 14th century armour used to protect the armpit.

The whole point is that it minimises the need for harmful, excessive travel and especially car travel. Of course those who, like yourself, seem to suffer from itinerant wander lust could probably get suitable treatment. -- UK Radical Campaigns www.zing.icom43.net Travel broadens the damage. |
