How many politicians do you see riding bikes around the streets of London? Least he was making a damn good effort, because there is no chance in hell that I'd get on a bike and ride on ANY road for fear of being knocked down dead. Good on him for at least advocating a healthy lifestyle if not a green image. Can you imagine carrying him attempting to carry all his paper work and such on his bike?
Better he lie about going through a red light than lying about what our taxes are being spent on. You still have Labour to blame for that little problem no matter how many one way streets DC bikes up the wrong way.
