Ah well, never mind.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

I do so because its fast and free.
The free bit isn't that important to me as the costs of running a couple of cars (including an Audi A8) are vanishingly trivial in the grand scheme of things. That and I spend a *lot* on my fine stable of bicycles.
For me, it's because cycling is fast, liberating, and keeps me reasonably fit.
The environmental side *is* a factor for me, particularly localised particulates, but it's not the major factor.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

Ha. My housemates pay £200 a year for a bus pass, and leave the house at around 8.25 for a 9am lecture. I leave at 8.40 on my bike and am always sat in the lecture theatre looking smug as they walk in 5 mins later.gadgetmind wrote: »The free bit isn't that important to me as the costs of running a couple of cars (including an Audi A8) are vanishingly trivial in the grand scheme of things.

I'd like to do a similar thing in a few years when I've graduated and get a proper job - have a couple of thirsty and ludicrous big cars but never use them because I can cycle to work. 0 -

It really takes the pressure off.
I use the car for shopping and day trips mainly.

I put £20 in the car today.
will be weeks before I add more, unless we go on a long trip somewhere.0 -

As it happens, I am doing a longish trip by car tomorrow, and that distance will be probably three times my usual weekly cycling distance. However, I last drove two weeks ago, and the gap before that was maybe 4-6 weeks.I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television.

this is typical of the Evening News.Have you been fined multiple times by the spy cameras? Contact Daniel Sanderson on 0131-620 7938 or daniel.sanderson@edinburghnews.com
Spy cameras?“A longer grace period would have allowed road users to acclimatise to the new system. If motorists are being caught with that regularity, I would question whether the system is robust enough to leave no confusion.”
The 'new' system has been in place for around 20 years.
pretty obvious,no?0 -
But is it a full time bus lane?
Many around here are only bus lanes from 7am til 7pm, though using them does upset the numpties who are to stupid to read a great big blue and white sign.......“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Loads here are only bus lanes for 2.5 hours a day and only for 5 days a week. More cars drive in the bus lanes when they are active than do when they are open to all!I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
