Paris Brest Paris in 2015, the Tour de France erections were still there, and we arguably got larger crowds to cheer us, whole villages would be out day and night. A 1200km party with a bit of riding.

That's what you get when people ask for opinions.

Is there anything you disagree with in there, or are you just being objectionable?

I'm having a busy week at work so I'm in here less than usual. What's the question?

Of the countless people I know who drive no more than a handful have any interest in motor sport. Neither are they part of any "Car culture", they drive because it is their preferred mode of transport. Many know bugger all about cars other than how to drive them.

Doesn't preferring it as a mode of transport — rather than, say, selecting it when appropriate for some pragmatic reason — make them part of the "car culture" that dominates most UK government thinking?
