| Tom Pike explained " You might have some basis for the narrative you present thirty years ago" and... " Actually bike usage does drop by 20% but car use drops too as people simply travel less when it’s colder and darker" You might have had some basis for that narrative say SEVENTY years ago Tom, but since that time believe, it or not of most cars have been fitted with HEATERS. So cold in winter simply isn't a problem any more. It's maybe no wonder that you're *so* confused at times. I personally have no interest at all, in what other people may or may not claim about cyclist numbers. I only know that cycling will never ever again become a dominant mode of transport. In the end the public are far more likely to accept the inevitable, that nuclear power generation will be needed to satisfy a far larger proportion of our energy needs than at present. Powering electric vehicles ranging from juggernauts to escooters. All fitted with noise generators to render them far safer than at present. Its funny how your *mates at LBH* never made that a *stipulation* before authorising a trial of escooters, is it not ? But of course that would require real political vision and long term financial commitment not a politically expedient cop out done on the cheap pandering to the fantasies of a group of deluded visionaries Sorry, you were saying ? Oh yes... " So I’m afraid your comments are both rather badly out of date and quite irrelevant." Didn't you ever wonder why, when you rode past them while waiting at the traffic lights on Chiswick High Rd in the middle of winter, with snow on the ground, the occupants of cars didn't seem to be wearing gloves, overcoats, or scarves although they were mainly just sitting around doing nothing ? Has your present arrived BTW ? You must already be down to around 5ft below ground level, at a guess. michael adams ... |
