Abolishing cycle-to-work schemes in the middle of a climate emergency is exactly the sort of thing this dour, unimaginative lot would do.

Years ago, while watching the incredible transformations of places like Paris, we asked ourselves, “Why are these leaders breaking through the status quo?”

If you only do one survey this winter, make it this one. Bike theft is a massive barrier for many, putting people off cycling and causing massive inconvenience and financial hardship. It's NOT a victim-less crime

Did you know you pay more fuel tax on a single car journey than a billionaire does on a private jet flight?
Right now the gov is subsidising tax breaks, when they could be using that tax to generate billions for public services.
