    Popping down to the shops on a bike needs a lot of kit nowadays: "In Britain, going out to cycle is a little like preparing for battle. There is body armour and helmets to consider, Lycra and face masks to squeeze into,” was from a piece headlined ‘Reasons to take to your bike’.

    This is a theme I'm always banging on about, although many people are certain that there's no causal link between scaremongering and cycling participation. After all:

    "There's nothing like a "you will die if you do this" message to drum up custom."
