True, the levels of horror are mixed here, but the crying was something that hit me this morning. If more of out politicians, public servants and even taxi and bus drivers cycled a few days each year, I'm sure the roads in Britain would be a very different place.

Similarly I'd love to see people experience some of the pain and danger they seem willing to put others in. The cycling comment was flippant (and my personal bugbear) but I think it is part of a whole spectrum of engagement and understanding that we should expect from those that want to and chose to run and operate the mechanics of our countries.
