I READ an online article recently that was titled ‘A new normal’: how coronavirus will transform transport in Britain’s cities’.

The article talked about how cycling and walking are going to be the way forward in terms of transport in cities, starting with London.

This is because public transport doesn’t support social distancing, and if everyone were to start driving, the roads would be in gridlock.

This seemed to me, to be absolutely BRILLIANT news!

Not only will walking and cycling lessen the spread of the coronavirus, but it will also reduce pollution in cities, therefore helping to tackle the climate crisis!

Moreover, unlike flu, cold, SARS, CV-19 attacks the vascular system. Keeping blood pressure, cholesterol and other heart disease factors down gets you back on the street much faster.

I have had two ECGs in the past year and my heart was like a metronome, no doubt due to the fact that I cycled 25 miles a day to and from work from age 40-55. Never had colds or 'flu either.

No - it was a 14 hour trip on the Rotterdam - Hull ferry that caused my Mal de Debarquement Syndrome.

Whenever I rode to work, or drove a car, the symptoms went away.
