There follows a serious question which you (and the "researchers")
might not be able to answer.

What is a "gridlocked UK city"?

Please be as precise as possible in your answer. Try not to be evasive.

Something else on the roads for grumpy old men to whinge about.

As far as one can reasonably tell, the vehicles whose praises you
sing are used almost exclusively *by* (grumpy?) old men and women.

At least, that is so in the UK, whether or not in "gridlocked cities"
(whatever they may be).

In certain overseas territories (well, one in particular), they seem
to be used by anyone whose fancy it takes.

But please... don't forget to tell us what a gridlocked city actually
is.


walking will beat cars if there is actual gridlock, as would a pogo
stick, or stilts.

Good job that scooters can go on pavements as well.

Also, when the roads are gridlocked in London, the bike lanes would
not be.
