“The most frequent excuse I hear from car drivers as to why they couldn’t possibly use their bikes instead is: ‘How do you get home a week’s groceries on a bicycle?’ Car drivers say this as if the impossibility of such a task is self evident. I don’t argue, but I do chuckle, because many of us do it all the time.”–Anne Felker, the Practical Pedal.

Number plates for bikes? Yeah, good one Ken.
The suggestion by London’s Mayor that bikes should be registered and display number plates is an utterly ridiculous idea. It would be too costly, unenforceable, and detrimental to the broader social benefits of cycling. Let’s hope this one goes the way of most politicians’ promises.
