A bike quote not quite by Oscar Wilde

I was proud of making this one up on my bike this morning .With apologies to Oscar Wilde:

Bikes: "we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the cars"

Probably time to get back in my box.

The Cycle of Karma

When you're cycling around 100 miles a week through London, you develop some strange notions. The one I can't get out of my head is that you build up karma - good and bad - depending on how you cycle. So - if you stop at red lights, wait politely for pedestrians, smile at cars, you get rewarded - the next light turns green for you straight away, someone smiles back at you - you get the picture. Of course this doesn't always work, but it works often enough for me to try to cycle by those rules. Most of the time.
