As a central London cyclist I can tell you that *buses* (and vans of course) are far more terrifying than any car could ever be. BMW X5 or whatever drivers are generally too scared of a scratch to be any more terrifying than any other drivers!
All the change will do is bring *more* cars, ie all the ones that can now come in for free, into central London.
No joy for cyclists there.
Labour are reading from a Kubrick script when it comes to reform
Getting a bit too similar for comfort perhaps?
As someone who’s also an avid cyclist I know exactly what a nusance 4X4s are, or maybe it’s just their drivers…
Van drivers are arseholes too.
You don’t live in London though, do you?
Buses are terrible!
No I don’t.
I just find that 4X4 drivers tend to squeeze past you when there really isn’t room – a la White Van Men.
