Is the BBC anti bikes? Does it even realise?

    I have seen a few posts on twitter about the BBC and its general tone towards cycling.

    reading the below made me wonder, if they even know they are doing it. So an MP submits VERY low value expenses, I am sure the paperwork costs more than the actual sums involved and you can argue why is he making car journeys of a few hundred metres. Maybe It is just me, but the way they highlight that he made a specific claim of 60p for using a bike, so F***ing what!

    Sounds good.

    If they have a ‘momentary lapse of concentration’ and start spewing crap then they get a bucket of vomit (or something similarly offensive) over their head. I bet they’ll remember after the first lapse.
