    I've always liked James May, he seems like he'd be an interesting guy to have a pint with and outside of Top Gear has made some good programmes.

    This article reinforces my view that he's a thoroughly decent chap.

    May said that cycling was “not going to cure the world of all its ills” and was not ideal for long commutes, but he said that increasing the number of cyclists would help to free up Britain’s “ludicrously overcrowded” roads.

    “The benefits to driving if people ride bicycles are that there is more space left for driving,” he said. “It’s a simple arithmetic truism.”

    This week marks a year since David Cameron pledged a “cycling revolution”. British Cycling has criticised the prime minister for failing to create an annual cycling budget to deliver his promise.

    That cycling revolution's an awful long time coming.
