I made a rough-and-ready whimsical calculation tonight. If the government scrapped HS2 and allocated the money saved to buying bikes, there would be enough dough to buy a pretty decent bike, let's say 400 quid's worth, for every able-bodied adult in the land. Instead, we hear from Grunt Crapps today that he's allocating a few quid to create pop-up bike paths here there and everywhere. As if we'll ever ever see 'em. Cynical Tory bollocks as ever. Still, back to the cheery topic of guys falling off bikes... ;-)
