Over the last few weeks, I have got back into the saddle and been cycling to work 2 or 3 times a week.
I have noticed that there is a lot of vehicles on the road nowadays with stop/start. Being a cyclist who stops for red lights (miaow), its very noticeable to hear the amount of vehicles whose engine cuts in when the lights change. A lot more than I would have expected.
Tonight there was a Jaguar XF and on the way in today there was some sort of flatbed truck that seemed to have it.
On a separate note its only when you get on the bike that you really appreciate how gawd awful our road surfaces really are, especially within a metre of the kerb.
