Should explain that it actually looks like a bike symbol with some 'guerilla' graffiti added. I likes. I want a white spray can.

LOL. The only thing I had to ride to vote on earlier this year was my hardtail with downhill tyres on. It was like riding in treacle...

The You're too sexy for your car posters are part of our marketing for our A better way to work project. If anyone wants copies of the poster for their workplace send me a message and I'll happily pop some in the post for you.

Aha! So it's your work?
I still think some genuine guerilla action creating graffiti on the bike lanes like this would be great!

In fairness we've got a stonking proportion live in places like Kirkcaldy, Duns, way up in Perthshire, Glasgow, and had people in Stirling and Berwick (as in 'upon Tweed', not 'North') till recently.
And the rest live within 5-20 minutes walk. One person I converted stopped over winter, and hasn't been able to get re-started, so instead drives (from the bottom of Easter Road to Melville Street!) and then runs at lunchtimes.
I think I'm one of only about 3 people in here for whom cycling would actually make sense - one cycles 2-3 times a week, and the other is the one who has gone back to the car and running...

A surprising number of people cycle to my office (well, compared with zero at my last office I suppose I was going to be inevitably taken aback).
The boss got a bike quite recently, and was pleasantly surprised that he can save 10 minutes cycling in from Barnton to Leith vs the car.

Our bike shed now packed to overflowing, bikes dumped where there is nothing to chain them to

Neither of those statements are true though....... Bicycles certainly don't run on fat and cars don't run on money or make you fat.....
