Shame they never think to get out into the real world, we might get better transport policy if they rode in the real world. Then again, thinking of some of the policies Johnson has come up, with maybe not.

Does "CallMeDave" have a virtual car following him?
George Young rides a real bike.

The Tories have form...
"Now 69, Sir George Young was cycling to work while David Cameron was still at primary school. He is one of the few members of the Tory frontbench who has been in Government before, serving both Margaret Thatcher and John Major. “When I was a minister I used to put the red box on the back of my bike,” he says"
"For him, life should be conducted at a sedate pace — he has Radio 3 on, permanently, in his Parliamentary office. Although he has 11 bicycles, including three tandems, he would never buy a mountain bike because “I don’t bicycle up mountains”."
