                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[A) it's flat

b) it's not a race

I rode out to get a kebab* from my favourite van last week when it was 35C.  Keeping the pace easy and I reckon I sweat less (or at least get less damp from sweat) than I do walking.  Which seems correct when you think that cycling at that srt of pace is no more effort than walking, but you've got the benefit of a 10-12mph breeze.

The chilli sauce on the other hand had me sweating like a commuter racer who bought the hype of their breathable jacket.

*not an entirely necessary bit of info for this anecdote, but sets up the punchline, and is two to three miles of almost Dutch standard cycle path riding from my house.  Exactly the sort of journey that people really should be encouraged to do by bike.]]></content:encoded>

Give bike lanes and cars priority and adopt presumed/strict liability - kinda like in holland....

that makes the towns shit for cars.

It would also make our shit cycle infrastructure USABLE utter madness that the self propelled vehicle has to stop at every road crossing.



* Lived in north holland for 6 months commuting too and from the office by bike and LOVED it , even in the depths of winter, couldnt be further from cycling in the uk.]]></content:encoded>
