    Sorry, I forgot. That's always the reason.

    Didn't you see the Spokes survey results from yesterday, Steve? Probably too many cyclists. :-þ

    "why don't you get a car and pay road tax"

    We sorted that yesterday -

    One person wide vehicles are exempt.

    One person, wide vehicles are exempt.

    Well there is only me in the car, how wide does it need to be to get an exemption?

    I cycle up here (Leith Street) every evening.

    There seem to be a few chancers who park their cars here on the left, just past the Black Bull. There's a stretch of the bus lane a few yards long which have no painted lines on it - possibly removed when the road was dug up and not painted back on.

    Now the buses can't proceed up the bus lane and have to pull out into the normal lane to get past, causing a bit of congestion downstream.

    I'm wondering if this stretch has effectively become a free parking area?
