Nice article on cycling

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere- I couldn't find anything, but there's a good piece in today's Grauniad magazine on cycling (page 18) and here where they followed a single London 'Boris bike' around for a day to see where it went and who hired it. The piece also goes on to follow another bike in New York which is part of their city bike hire scheme as well. Great to see a piece on cycling with lots of folk riding in everyday clothes and dare I mention it- barely a lid in sight.

So much for this guy's wishes....
'It is 7.30pm when Tony and David dock in Soho. Alan Waller, a sustainability analyst, says he is happy to be followed to the gym, provided the bikes are not referred to as "Boris bikes". "The scheme was secured under Ken Livingstone," he says. "Boris took all the credit. I try not to call them Boris bikes." '

I thought it made the cycling-as-transport scene in NYC sound healthier than in London - what do I mean? Sorry am recovering from a migraine and I'm not sure what I mean!
