A Sad Day For London

C'mon Bill, I read about the number plate scheme...that was just ridiculous and would have never worked, but I never saw the "firing squads" story?

How about Ken's involvement with the TdF, Tour of Britain and on a lesser level Hovis Freewheel? There was a huge promotion of cycling as a viable means of transport which went along with all these events? I thought TdF last year was huge for London and for cycling.

Hey, just trying to point out that he wasn't without blemish. Balance etc. I can't remember where the 'firing squads' story came from, but I suspect it was in the same interview as the number plates story. You're right it was ridiculous. But he did say it.

Boris is pro-cycling too! And he actually cycles too.

I am planning to write a letter to Boris tomorrow. We kind of have to get on with it, and the sooner we engage with him, and see what the nature of the man is the better. There's no point wearing sack-cloth and covering ourselves with ashes. Better to see what the possibilities are. As long as we keep our expectations very low, anything +ve will come as a pleasant surprise.
