I had occasion to be driven in a people carrier yesterday in London in
the rush hour, with my folder in the boot, usually I avoid all contact
with cars. It is a long time since I gave up motoring but yesterday it
was brought home to me vividly why.

Sitting amid the fumes hardly moving while the minutes ticked by.
Every attempt to rat-run blocked. Being shaken up and down by speed
bumps. Getting more and more impatient. What a relief when the journey
ended! Why do they do it every day?

The only pleasure was seeing lots of cyclists whizzing by.

Okay, I think we've passed the threshold now. Post reported. Good
luck.
