Good stuff!

I've noticed at work that people are cycling more (the bike shed is more full now than ever, and even had a healthy few bikes during the winter). Even those who haven't taken to cycling, some of them are buying much more modest cars (if we ignore the fool who after a few shandies too many found he had bought a 9mpg winnebago).

Have to say the bike sheds at work are fuller and fuller . well except today cos it was a bit wet and the FWCs obviously didn't like to get a bit wet.

it is good to see the sheds getting full though

China is quite inspiring in some ways, to see all of those workers riding to work. I know they have another level of BSO over there, though, given the poverty. I know of no other place where you can buy a (working) bike for £5

I'm sure I read a report the other day that there are X% fewer cars on the roads than two years ago due to the fuel increase, so maybe the ones who could cycle have finally been given the impetus to actually do it.
