Am actually surprised at the nonsense from Hammond. Thought he might avoid bullshit cliches, but the start is all tired ‘miserable London cyclists’ garbage.
Sorry mate, the only miserable moaning misanthropes I see and hear (beep beep. beeeeep.) every rush hour are sat behind a wheel, not moving anywhere near as fast as they think they do. Us lot on two wheels are mostly very happy, whatever the weather.
Maybe the piece got better, but I quit when it read like the DM.
The link that's supposed to be to a Hammond blog is actually to Youtube.
