    With just a little re-engineering, bicycles would be perfect.
    For safety, I'd start with hydraulic disc brakes, a headlight (or maybe even two), and a windshield. Then you might consider adding some doors and more comfortable seats, with seat-belts. Adding two more wheels would greatly improve stability. Of course, that extra weight will make the bicycle even more difficult to peddle than it already is, so you'll want an engine. I suggest a V8. NOW you'll have a bicycle that non-masochists will want to use. Just a suggestion.

    I ride bicycles all my life and it doesn't seem as dangerous as people think. You have a better field of vision than cars and you can hear for traffic better too. When I approach some corners, I'm cautious (with a car) because a someone might pop out from the corner. With bikes you can peek safely. If you "peek" with a car, another might plow into your front. This happens to women all the time, as they are shorter and need to inch up more.
    To an outsider it seems "scary" when big cars are next to you, but really it isn't. The worse is heavy traffic. But I try to take minor streets.
    BTW. I also have a car. So I know both worlds.

I see it all the time, if it's a young woman, always on the phone, the phone is always on the knee, if it's an older woman, seat too far forward and nose on steering wheel. I'm on a job in Sheffield city centre, high up, I can see straight down and in to vehicles coming up to and stopping at a set of traffic lights. Even the woman that drives the free connect city centre bus plays on her phone at every opportunity, the men don't!

      It's a running gag that's been going for some time - I believe it is meant to imply (according to my half-brother who was an executive at the BBC when this aired) that they have no clue what they are doing (as they are specialist clothes - they'd need to take the label off as with anything else - the fact they haven't implies that they don't know how to use them, and by extension they don't know how to do the activity they are involved in). It's a bit like Jeremy introducing things he doesn't know anything about/doesn't care about as 'something called...'

    I love the sense of humor behind getting Clarkson to do a safe cycling video. The thing is, even on top gear, they found that the best way to get around the city quickly was by bike. It is a transport system that works well, with minimal waste. 25% of all road vehicles in London are cyclists. Thats a lot of community tax going into the roads and a lot of voters putting pressure on parliament (Since they only seem to listen to London opinions when considering legislation, or did the bungles forcing Scotland to take a vote completely miss their mark with our political masters?) Anyway, love the vid and the idea of Clarkson and creme. Lol
