As I wait behind the choking exhaust fumes on my bike in a long queue of traffic along Iffley Road, Oxford, taking ages to get home, I think to myself: "Why am I sitting here not moving, getting soaking wet, avoiding getting squashed by buses and desperate to get my breath, when I could be in my car, relaxed, nice and dry and listening to the radio?"

I might as well join the car brigade as cycling ain't an advantage!
