I don’t often get political, but I can’t help but put this in writing.
I pay £97/month to travel by tube. Zones 1-3. It’s not great travel, but it’ll do. I’m used to the packed trains and the occasional delay for £3/day. I was talking to a friend and she mentioned why I didn’t cycle to work and I actually contemplated it for a second. London traffic is bad even at the best of times and I’d much rather be stuffed in a tube than have to breath in carbon monoxide.
All in all, this doesn’t bother me much.
What does bother me is Ken spending money on TV adverts for us to cycle in London. I’d save money and get regular exercise, but it’s not practical! You’re better off by bike? Yes, and so are you Ken. Or is it a coincidence that I’ve just received my London Local Election polling card?
