A while ago we were told that cycling was on the decline. Then, someone decided the sums had been done wrong and it was on the increase. Last week, or was it two weeks ago, we were told that it was on the decline again, new figures apparently. This morning we were told that men in the south of England live 10 years longer than us men in the north, one of the reasons put forward was the increase in cycling. Can I still buy a yoyo?

I wondered about the living 10 years longer. Is this because people retire to the south coast, therefore by definition the average age is 10 years higher?
Statistics! A safe road is one where no pedestrians or cyclists are killed. Is this because it is so dangerrous that they're too scared to go near it?
