"Stone the crows though Nige, even they have some standards." Hence why I didn't suggest you go on! Rendy Vs Jack Cycles in a debate... That would be like Bambi trying to fight Godzilla 😂

Do you drop litter on the basis that you are only one of the thousand doing so so whether or not you do won't make any difference to the problem? Do you dodge paying your taxes on the basis that you are only one of 40 million taxpayers so your contribution won't help anything? Same sort of logic, and it's nonsense.

@ktache Yes, I still have hopes that in years to come we will see it changed to a high emissions vehicle exclusion zone rather than a come and pollute if you can afford the charge zone. However it has had a massive effect on air quality, it's not just the roadside detectors that show it is working, you can literally see and smell the difference.

I'm always hopeful, but people don't think for long... or not enough of us *do* something after the thinking. It may be "too early to tell" but AFAICS after we all eagerly forgot about the "pandemic which doesn't get mentioned", the roads pretty much returned to normal. Albeit with a lag and possibly more remote working now. And all the bikes went back into the sheds / onto the balconies, or were consigned to the odd Sunday outing along the canal / in the park. People tend to do what others do. The "hopeful" part is that a "critical mass" can be achieved locally. And cycling *can* be such an efficient, low cost, easy access, adaptable transport method. And - yes - even "social" and "fun".

Would recommend looking elsewhere if your head is on either the smaller or larger ends of the scale. The cap will either be too loose and peak will tend to flop down annoyingly, or it will be tight and uncomfortable. For contrast the GripGrab ones are not only less money but they are at least available in S/M, and M/L.

Damn Forester. He's the Thatcher of cycling.

GBTV is effectively Reform TV, so it was never going to be an easy ride for Dave. As for speed limits, we all have a duty to drive/ride in a safe manner.

I think 'Ben Graham' may well be a Lancashire Constabulary officer, because they are similarly mystified about ASLs as they are about most aspects of traffic law such as handheld mobile use, or unbroken white lines or whether a valid MOT certificate is reallynecessary when a vehicle is being driven on public roads. In practice, in Lancashire these disputes about the minutiae of crossing the SL and the ASL on amber or red are futile because the police believe you can just carry on across the junction if you were 30 yards away when the lights turned red, as I have demonstrated on here only too often

Khan's ulez extension is having real world beneficial effects on the lungs of London's children. Though of course it's more of a pollution charging zone...
