Absurd. Thanks for sharing your thoughts - I totally agree that we should celebrate local heroes more. It's often at a local level, at a grass-roots level if you like, that the most can be achieved within a community if someone is prepared to commit the effort. We don't celebrate people like that enough. I am thrilled your blog is going from strength to strength!

Maybe it would show motorists how everyday inconveniences could become positive by riding a bike (if it doesn't infuriate them...)

Sorry to see the pic of your bike out of sorts - what a weird idea about dissasembling your bike to put it on the train. I think it scares just about anyone from taking it with them.
