London Transport - Then n Now

[sleuthey]

Current showing on Channel 5 now. They were saying about London's cycling infrastructure when I was flipping through. I'll be watching it on 5+1 at 2040 in a bit. Will be interested to see what they say.

I've set it to record.

It was interesting light entertainment posing as a documentary. I did feel like tasering that woman taxi driver though.

Well it was a good program if your a vintage bus enthusiast. Not sure what the female taxi driver meant by "cyclists are the vane of cabbies lives" - possibly ment they are unpredictable. I laughed when the commentator said "in the early 70s you would only ride a bike if you were poor or weird" - not much has changed to date then

I think she meant that cyclists were getting to work without paying cabbies any money, and that was unacceptable.
