Amsterdam Bicycles (Jorge Royan, Wikimedia Commons)Live blog: NL cyclists could get paid for riding to work, road.cc reader looking to auction gold-plated vintage racer, questionable acting from Bora - hansgrohe + more
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Love the lift, but what happens when you want to get off? Some sort of floor would have to slide in underneath you for you to step down onto. Or the bike would have to move horizontally away from the shaft.
And there's a limit of one person in the shaft at a time. What if someone else is going all the way up and they're really slooooow? You'd have to have lots of shafts, I suppose. And there'll have to be some non-human power in order to move the empty lift to the floor where it's required.
OK, I'm getting a bit less enthuiastic about the lift.
The BBC finally notices utility cycling! About bloody time. Even though the article barely mentions the benefits in terms of health, pollution, quality of life, congestion, value for money etc, etc. Still, a refreshing change from the BBC's normal relentless helmet promotion.
