I wonder if it will still be there today?
I have taken the day off with a dodgy brain, so I will have to
pick it up tomorrow when I go on my wanking course.

I happened to be passing by in the van after work today and it was
still there, so I brought it home.
I will have to carry drill drivers that pack down into my pocket now
they are getting so heavy.

I can't go around hiding drill drivers all over the show, not at £240 a
pop I can't.

I'd forgotten that. It's rather good isn't it?

Indeed it is, for a non-cyclist. A little de-rivet-ive, perhaps.

You really have the 'bit' between your teeth now don't you 'chuck'?

Still, torque is cheap.

More proof that cycling is booming.

QUOTE:
Cambridge, already the UK city with the highest levels of cycling in
the UK, saw strong levels of growth in 2011, with bicycles now
accounting for nearly a quarter of all traffic in the university city
according to Cambridgeshire County Council’s annual traffic monitoring
report.

The number of cycling trips in and around Cambridge grew by 14 per
cent during the year, with a rise of 21 per cent in trips from
neighbouring villages into the city, where 22 per cent of traffic is
now accounted for by bicycles, according to counts made at a number of
locations.

Within the boundaries of the city itself, cycling rose by 12 per cent,
which the council attributed in part to improvements made to routes
including Gilbert Road and Hills Bridge Road, as well as the provision
of increased cycle parking spaces throughout the city.

As reported on road.cc earlier this month, Cambridge railway station,
long criticised by local cycle campaigners as providing insufficient
capacity for those wishing to ride their bike to catch a train, is set
to become home to the UK’s largest Dutch-style CyclePoint.

According to Cambridgeshire County Council, counts of cyclists take
place each year at the same sampling points throughout Cambridge. Some
29,388 cyclists were counted crossing those points during a single day
in 2010, rising to 33,518 last year. It added that the same rise was
recorded by automatic counters that tally the number of cyclists
riding past each day.

Cambridgeshire County Council said that the strong growth was in part
due to the city’s former status as one of the now abolished Cycling
England’s Cycling Towns initiative, which saw £9 million pumped into
14 new or improved cycle routes as well as other activities such as
providing training to adults and children.

The Cycle Cambridge project set up as part of that aimed, in the
county council’s word, “to get more people cycling, more safely, more
often,” both by targeting new developments being built in Cambridge
and by trying to get more people cycling into the city from the
villages surrounding it.

The success of the latter was demonstrated by the fact that these were
the journeys that showed the strongest growth during 2011, up by 21
per cent, also boosted by new routes from Cherry Hinton, Cottenham,
Harston, Histon and Horningsea, as well as the on a cycle path running
alongside the recently opened Guided Busway.

Since Cycling England was axed by the Coalition Government last year,
efforts to promote cycling in Cambridge are now taken place within the
structure of an EU-funded initiative that goes by the name of Bike
Friendly Cities. As part of that, Cambridgeshire County Council says
it is working with partners in Netherlands, Belgium and France to make
cycling more attractive, as well as safer.

Partners in that project, which runs initially until 2014, include
Sustrans and Southend-on-Sea Borough Council in the UK, the
Municipality of Middelburg and Province of Zeeland in the Netherlads,
and local authorities in Boulogne and nearby Neufchâtel-Hardelot in
northwestern France.

Elsewhere in the county, the council says it is continuing to invest
in cycling within the scope of its Market Towns Transport Strategy,
while it has also recently submitted a bid for money from the Local
Sustainable Transport Fund which, if successful, would see seven-
figure sums put into cycling initiatives within the Ely-Cambridge and
Huntingdon-Cambridge corridors.

Steve Criswell, Cambridgeshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for
Community Infrastructure, commented: “I am delighted that the
investment in cycling has increased levels of cycling further in the
Cambridge area, which was a major challenge when such high levels
already existed.

“Cycling plays such a vital part in tackling congestion in the
Cambridge area to ensure that the city is able to function and keep
moving.

“The County Council will continue to work towards improved safety for
cyclists, and to invest in sustainable transport options to ensure
that people are able to live healthy and independent lives,” he added.

Bloody hell - it will have to go some to beat the cycle park I once saw at
Maastricht station - it was huge.
