Boris is blowing serious sums of money debendifying, designing unfundable new buses etc and to cover the real issues he just talks and talks and talks. A few thousand electric cars and a few thousand velib bycycles are not going to tackle the serious issues of the day. Why does the press give this guy such an easy ride? This is all rhetoric!

Thus the streets are free for pedestrians. That has to be the next step. In the film “Blade Runner” they have what look like electric cars, running on overhead cables.

Boris is probably very committed to environmental issues, but the credit crunch means he has to take some hard decisions. I like the look of the electric car.

Go for it Boris, electric cars and bikes, sounds good to me. In Bruges they have the traffic problem cracked, because there is a one way system and bikes. Just thought I would mention this in case it is helpful. Bruges is picture postcard pretty and perfect, but you come back thrilled with what a fantastic, vital city London is. With all its ancient buildings, Bruges is, dare I say, a tiny bit bland. In London, so many stunning views, the streets imbued with history....... It's good to be home!

It inspires the imagination, because it looks to the future. The credit crunch has to have restricted many of Boris's plans. This plan is worth pursuing.
