Why commuting by motorcycle is good for everyone.
Well, this is a surprise, isn't it, boys and girls? Commuting by bike takes up less space, uses less fuel, causes less congestion and means you get there quicker! Who would have thunk it?
Of course there's a need to use the proper safety gear (and, preferably, get yourself some Advanced Training too
) but this is just saying what every two-wheel user has known pretty much since traffic levels started increasing.
Now all we need to do is get the bureaucrats (and Eurocrats) to stop playing silly buggers and make it *easier* for people to switch from four wheels to two, stop introducing petty (and useless) regulations on what you not allowed to do to your bike and requirements for Hi-Viz and, most importantly, recognise the benefits of bikes and consider them for VED exemption since they are even better for reducing congestion and pollution than sub-1 litre cars.
