Two wheels good

Heard the Tories and Labour debating who has the biggest claim to cycling on the Today programme this morning.

It was all a bit bizarre, really. David Cameron and all pedaling away like fury. Labour saying it was a working class sport. Less working class when you’re flitting about on three grand’s worth of Canondale, perhaps.

But... there are now speed gate things on the Regent’s Canal (very Labour) – presumably to make sure no cyclists mow down one of the fearsome looking dogs that stalk the banks, or the drunken and hostile anglers, or the drug dealers.
