lady_kareliaYes. The BBC has gone bonkers. Here.
Sure, I can imagine just how healthy it is to cycle around London. That is if the bike comes ready with a mask and an oxygen supply attached. It's not that London is polluted or anything. Or that drivers in England are not fond of cyclists.
"The initiative by British Cycling and health company GlaxoSmithKline has eight new route guides covering Abergavenny, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham and London."
Since when is GSK a "health company"? I always thought a health company is a company who produces things that make/keep people healthy? GSK is a company that produces drugs that every once in a while, after enough people have been killed by them, get taken off the market.
And that's the kind of "news" that gets published. *shakes_head*
