Easier to collect, harder to dodge.

Perhaps we should tax things like Waitrose Piemonte Inspired Pizza with
Truffled White Sauce & Italian Porcini Mushrooms.

Most cyclists seem to be pretentious ****s.

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
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."
