Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster

to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."
