Channel4 - the Woman Who Stops Traffic

bikenut The way the cost of fuel is going up in the end no one will be able to afford a bloody car

we've heard all the "pricing us off the roads" arguments before.

it's not working is it?

I rode through a channel of gridlocked motors today, as I will all week (unless I go back routes), door to door. absolute car park (tooting to merton park).

fuel and tax is nowhere near anything like high enough to be a deterrent.

basically, I think society in general fails to adapt quickly enough to circumstantial and environmental change.
If you'd told my father, or grandfather that if they wanted to drive two miles down the road it would take an hour, they'd have laughed and started walking, or got on a bike. It's beyond common sense, but people endure it because of the ingrained, and out of date attitudes to private motoring.
