THINK OF THE EXTRA POLLUTION.

Happy Bike to School Week! Although it might not have seemed quite such a celebration for the kid pictured having to wheel his bike around the queue of stationary motorists blocking this cycle lane in Haringey as they wait for petrol.

I guess it's preparing them well for what they'll have to deal with cycling anywhere in the UK...

The picture attracted a powerful reaction online, with one reply saying we might as well call it Don't Even Think About Biking To School Week. The London Cycling Campaign also chipped in, sharing the pic to its followers with the message: "London's young people deserve so much better than this."

Toby Edwards added: "Sums up our car-mad culture nicely."

It wasn't just in London either...these were the scenes in Brighton yesterday as drivers made use of that nicely painted lane on the left while they waited...

Think of all the extra cancer.
Benzine replaced Tetraethyllead so every time a motorists fills up it increases it's chance of developing cancer.
The down side is cyclists will have to pay for their self inflicted wounds.

Do what comes naturally. Seethe and fume and throw a tantrum.
