Death on Wheels



The traffic in London is so dangerous that cyclists are referred to as "organ donors". Still, I pedal on. I can't remember why there's a note here about Bhimsen Joshi. I think Arthur has since died.

i think it's time to make driving a car...uncomfortable.

i think we should lower the speed limit to 5 mph in residential areas...so that folks might as well park the GD things and walk.

i love your work. everytime i come over here, i am amazed.

Oh that made me laugh (in a bitter kind of a way). Never heard the 'organ donors' description before - we have contra-flow cycle routes in Ipswich which people never use because you might as well just cycle directly at a bus on the other roads.

You're actually quite a sweet person under all that grump, eh, Ellis. Takes one to know one.
