When you have more grey hairs and a reduction in your working brain cells day by day then you might find that out yourself one day.;)

Hopefully, I will also get an uplift to your impeccable manners and demeanour.

Did you see how smug he was looking? It's no wonder he got knocked off. At least he has video evidence to support his benefits-for-life claim ;).

Bah. All the cars were on the wrong side of the road anyway. In other news, two Canadian shopping trollies bumped in a supermarket. They were being pushed by very smug shopping trolley pushers (I desperately need a punchline that uses PIP as an anagram....anyone?)

This old man, fiddled DLA
He played the system all along the way
With a nick nack paddy whack
Give it a new name
Now he diddles PIP just the same.

That must have been taxing for a man of your great intellectual ability to compose that ditty so quickly today.;)

Getting back to the main heading: Not driving to work could save you £1000, this would not cover my funeral expenses as I would not risk cycling to work with the amount of traffic on or roads. Ruddy dangerous me thinks.

You are right. A radical rethink to make cycling less dangerous is needed. Kids especially should be out and about enjoying exercise in safety. Lifestyle change is needed fast or obesity and diabetes will see off our children.

i've put quite a bit of thought into your excellent suggestion and here is my answer

1 make them with 4 wheels
2 surround with metal box
3 add doors
4 fit power plant at front end
5 get it insured
6 get it taxed
7 pass government approved test to drive it
sorted - and re exercise for kids make them walk to school .
