If it had been funny then fair enough, cos I don't like to take myself too
seriously.
But I saw no humour there, it came over as a petrolhead rant and I was
shocked to see it in the Observer.

I just sighed and moved on. The trouble with stuff that like is that
it's always done by people who live in London. Most London cyclists
do indeed seem to jump red lights. Most cyclists outside London
don't.

My boss brought a copy into work to hang on the wall (He cycles to work
every day). I declined to comment as I'm already known to be
exceptionally political.

It's not just property prices that are the same in Cambridge as London,
alas.

Most motorists jump red lights. The difference is that motorists jump
the red light soon after is goes red regardless of the safety of other
road users; cyclists jump red lights only when the road is clear and
it won't affect any other road user.
While both are wrong, I'd say the latter is preferable - and somehow
more honest.

It's worth picking up the Observer for Life magazine and the Barefoot
Doctor. My family now read it before any other part of the paper to see
if he's managed to mention "kidney energy" which seems to be his answer
to everything. Other than that I have no time for it!

I have to turn rapidly over the Barefoot Doctor page. It annoys me beyond reason.
Which is appropiate since there isn't any reason in it...

for those who hate links in newsgroups the cartoon is as follows:
title: the highway code for cyclists
frame 1: traffic light on green, subtitle "=go"
frame 2: traffic light on red, subtitle "=go"
frame 3: give way sign, subtitle "=go"
frame 4: sign saying "this is a pavement you know, for walking on",
subtitle "=go"
frame 5: sign in the syle of a flashing motorway sign for a temporary
hazard "Look, just bloody stop", subtitle "=go"
frame 6: bent cycle and injured cyclist in front of stationary car.
Drive beside car, cyclist swearing, subtitle: "=decades of
under-investment in cyclepaths"
best wishes

Yes, that's it
I was looking at the flat rocks and the white paint and coming to the
wrong conclusion.
