Excellent news. And the more cyclists on the road the safer they get
as motorists get used to sharing space with them ...

And probably less ****ed off at all the other cars unloading the wee
ones around the schools and gumming up the roads.

Our prospective adoptive kids (5 & 7) live on the other side of town to
us and we'd be keeping them where they are for the rest of this year to
disrupt their lives as little as reasonably possible so I am
emphatically *not* looking forwards to a driving "school run" for a
while, but we've got a Me'n'U2 parked in the garage which we're hoping
to deploy to a new and nearer school come September.

Oh the fun you will have.

Just be careful of the cars pulling along side and then slowing so the
passengers can take a picture on their mobiles. After five years riding
one it still surprises me when this happens.

Alas they never send me the pictures.

Possibly the best bike I have ever bought and I blame Guy for it.
