Is it any wonder more and more british nationals are driving around
with cars with foreign plates. Not to mention the number of cloned

Possibly one could feel more encouraged to ride one's bike, creating

If I'm going to have to spend twice as long in my car due to travelling half
as fast I'm going to want something twice as comfortable especially if there
are humps, probably a nice big Range Rover, and out of spite it would have
Bull Bars.

Oh I dunno , every week when it rains or when its hot sunshine? As for
being man enough its more a case of practicality. If you live in a
perfectly flat area and commute a few miles then a bike would be fine.
if you live in a hilly area and have a long commute then not many
people are going to want to get to their destination knacked , wet,
cold and probably stinking of sweat. That might be your idea of a fun
morning but it isn't mine especially when I have to wear a suit to
work. Like it or not a bicycle in 90%% of circumstances is not a
practical method of transport.
