  • This is one of the best pieces of cycling propaganda I have ever seen, I love it. Personal car ownership in central London has become so diabolical even the English are putting down their car keys and picking up a bike. I cycled in London for the first 20 years of my life and watched it become completely dominated by cars. It’s strange to hear them say the words, as if it’s some sort of fever dream. People fundamentally enjoy and benefit from cycling in a way that they never will behind the wheel of a car. Makes me hopeful for the future.

    I remember being puzzled by this and many other numbers that kept cropping up. 32, 64, 128, 256, 1024, 2048… Why do programmers and electronic engineers hate round numbers? The other set of numbers that was mysterious was timber and sheet materials. They cut them to 1220 x 2440mm and thicknesses of 18 and 25mm. Are programmers and the timber merchants part of some diabolical conspiracy?
