    Even more incentive to cycle.

    Meanwhile, petrol prices going down...

    So more incentive to drive in a single occupant vehicle too. :-(

    Good news, that's an extra pound a week into the commuter bike repair and upgrade fund.

    Aye LRT are finally realising that actually they do give commuters a decent deal IN COMPARISON to other cities, and i also hope it will spur more people onto bikes, probably post tramworks of course.
    Aberdeen is the worst city ive ever visited for transport provision, followed by the grumpiest drivers in Dundee...

    (As LRT are busy building a shiny new depot at Longstone, im sure they have to find the money for that somewhere....)

    R :-)
