Anybody see the BBC had a section on ‘the Myth of Road Tax’?

At least a slow news day is good for something. Next on the list should be ASLs or does anyone else have a preference for a worthy cycling related news feed.

Btw – love the Churchill quote. A t-shirt with that and a huge slogan on a cycling jersey reading “YOU PAY VEHICLE EXCISE DUTY – it’s a tax on emissions dummy” might be a winner.
