Light at the end of the tunnel
What I am starting to realise is that the light at the end of the tunnel is only there so you can see the writing on the wall!

Cyclists
Now, I was a bit of a fan when I was younger of getting up in the saddle and pushing pedals to get me anywhere, and I always thought that the rules of the road applied to cyclists. What I saw today amazed me. 20 or so cyclists in a group travelling the wrong way down a busy, narrow one way street in the centre of town.
This started me thinking that the police are far too lenient on these suicidal morons, after all we have a (fairly draconian) law in this country that if yourcar is uninsured it can be towed off and crushed, no messing. This could easily be applied to cyclists, if you get seen turning right at a no right turn, dodging through red lights, riding over zebra crossings, or hanging on to my roof bars when you pull up, the police should be able to impound your push iron and crush it. And if you manage to kill yourself doing any of these things, then a term of imprisonment should also be imposed.
