  1. That “Vogue” photo is very striking & v good publicity.
    ANother edition fo the same magazine has a fascinating article, but an appalling photo – obviously taken not in the UK.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    As for Uber & bike-scrapping …
    Selfish? Stupid? Counterproductive? Arrogant?
    I think so – do you?

  2. Re, Solihull/NEC station award: ‘There will be 222 electric vehicle charging points in the car parking, and cycle storage for 176 bicycles’ – is there a rationale which makes these ‘good’ numbers?
