edit: Hmm, if you do really long words the forum inserts a space in them at random.
Just thinking if Ken had acutally done anything more with the bike idea than let someone suggest it shortly before losing the election, then it wouldn't exist. Barclays wouldn't have sponsored it. I'm not sure the boroughs would have played ball either with the docking stations either. And as Ken hated bikes there would be no cycle superhighways. And then what public funding there was for the scheme would have been given to Lee Jasper who would then have embezzled it.
On the plus side if it had gone ahead the bikes would be red, which is faster and more Londony.
