More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments.

I read this topic as both a car lover and a bike lover any introduction of systems that actually reward using bike for the purpose of commuting is great. The current cycling to work schemes are an okay ideas but lots of people buy the bikes and don’t use them for their intended purpose. I would love a scheme where your mileage to work is tracked and any mileage done using a bike is used to calculate a reduction in the road tax bill for my cars. This is probably technically difficult to do but I would sign up if such a scheme existed.
trouble is 99.9% of all the cycle to work bikes i’ve sold never get ridden to work, if you’ve got to prove your mileage and where you ride it is going to put a lot of owners off
I commute between 4000 and 5000 miles per year on my bike…where do I sign up?
