Are cycle lanes a good thing or a bad thing?

Not at all, such relaxed attitudes are easy when one is retired, or should be if one wants to live a long time. I leave it to others to get apoplectic and risk their ticker stopping.

Having been retired for 18 years now it's even easier to be relaxed about such things.

I see all is not rosy in the world of congestion

Supercar company Porsche is launching a legal challenge to London mayor Ken Livingstone's new congestion charge.

London is a very valuable market to Porsche, with all the city types buying them, but I think they have no chance with this action. The mayor is acting within his rights and in accord with UK government policy.

Porsche on the other hand are not acting in accordance with their government's policies, since they claim to be Europe's most environmentally responsible country.

Porsche should spend the money on additional lowering of their pollution levels or design of a hybrid model which would slash the charge.
