One thing I have noticed is how often I see the same person on there way somewhere and back again in a short space of time. This isn’t “commuter cycling” (whatever that’s supposed to mean), but people just running daily errands, the bicycle as everyday convenient transport. Probably if they didn’t have a bike, they would walk, but equally likely they would’ve just nipped out in the car.

Richard Hammond’s true moment of genius as he subverts Top Gear. Hammond calm collected and not even looking particularly sweaty is in sharp contrast to the wheezing Clarkson at the end. Clarkson’s look of disbelief clearly genuine. How can mere leg power beat an engine?
In classic overblown Top Gear Style the presenters set out to find out what is the quickest form of urban transport. (Oh and Clarkson has a speed boat - just in case viewers decide to turn off because it’s too boring).
