Cycling article in the times (best one i've ever read)

I don't know much about English politics and have no idea who Norman Tebbit was, but I don't see that being total bollocks. Perhaps assigning it to a particular political party or philosophy is silly, but I think many of us choose to cycle through an individualistic streak. I hate taking public transport and being limited due to engineering works, strikes and poor service. The bike allows me to do what I want, when I want.

My wife lived in Copenhagen for 3 years and cycled everywhere. It's the norm there. Even when we go to visit, all of her friends show up on bikes whether it's a fancy restaurant, a social dinner or just drinks at a bar.
yeah, it's more the assigning of cycling to a particular political philosophy (and to Toryism of all of them). And in what sense, exactly, are bendy buses 'collectivist'?

I guess i didn't like the fact that a decent article was slightly let down by the journalists lazy attempt at shoe-horning in her own political prejudice.
