They think that we should cycle instead of taking the car for short journeys. I disagree. For me, if a distance is less than three kilometres then it can be done in half an hour or less, on foot, and even less if we run.</p> <p>The thing about bicycles, is that they don&rsquo;t mean that people are more sporty. Most are not cycling 25km twice per day. They&rsquo;re riding their bike to the pub, or the train station or the shops, and then back, because they&rsquo;re too lazy to walk, rather than because they want to do sports. That&rsquo;s why they want to dress normally, and arrive with their hair perfectly coiffed, rather than ruined by a helmet.</p>
