Alternatively you can e-mail brian.weatherleyrbLco.ulL Looking for a way to mold the M25, the M5/M6 junction—or any other traffic jam? How about taking matters into your own hands, like one 13-year-old schoolboy from Ohio. He used his school computer and his friend's mother's Ebay Internet auction site password to buy a helicopter, ajet, motorcycles and a pick-up truck. According to police, his successful bids add up to about £1.4m. His mother is reported to have cancelled all the transactions— but only after the helicopter owner had phoned to ask how she intended to pay for it. We can probably take it for granted that the errant youth is now well and truly grounded. No Lycra and no cycling
helmets—unless you want to look like a Martian. That's the view of ex-RHA chief executive and now government cycling czar and style guru Steven Norris. He recently told a BBC reporter: "I think the idea that you have to dress up like a bloody spaceman in order to ride a bike is just completely potty. You should be looking at it [cycling] as something that normal, fat, middle-aged men like me do."
Obviously we don't think this applies to the committee members of the RHA and FTA, who are of course fine figures of men, but it would certainly solve some parking issues at their respective headquarters.
