Not sure if this has been mentioned but I wonder where bikes fit into the equation? Will they be exempt? After all, it's not motorcycles that are sitting in traffic jams belching tons of NOx into the atmosphere.A study in Belgium found that if just 10% of cars were replaced by motorcycles in our most congested cities then congestion would be reduced by a massive 40% and also cut up to 15,000 hours a day of vehicles being sat stationary in traffic.Comment

I'm surprised those mini "bike-cars" never took off in cities. I think BMW made one? It's just a bit bigger than a bike but enclosed, so you are protected from the elements. Much cheaper to run, easier to park and makes a lot more sense than the current model of using a 1T machine to move an 80kg human.Comment

absolutely great until we close a road off so the Police can scrape what is left of some plonker bike (cycle or motor) rider off the road who thought doing wheelies on a main road was a good idea.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
