Hello,

Thank you for your question.

Bicycles (or "Bikes" as they are colloquially known) are pretty much the same as cars in many ways. I find that using bicycles in pedestrian orientated zones may cause distress or upset, rather like if I were to drive a car down a pavement. I find that fatality rates are no worse than driving a BMW or a HGV blindfolded. Sure I have killed and maimed a few people, but who hasn't? And if I save a few minutes in getting to my material location then I say that's a result! Of course running costs are very expensive, once every 30 miles or so I must stop and refuel using a Double Decker (the chocolate bar - not the bus) at 40p (in most good corner shops) for 275kCal this makes it a very costly enterprise, at 1.3p/9kCal a mile.

Of course there are upsides, for example fresh air, exercise and in turn, depending on how efficient your motor is, weight loss. But the safety features are non-existant, airbags, you can forget it, some bicycles have some suspension, but rarely is this much more than 80-120mm of airsprung or coil sprung suspension. Not very good, if you, like me, enjoy cycling no-handed at 17mph through the town centre at midday on a saturday.

Yours Sincerly,

Stefan :biggrin:
