George Orwell actually said ...

"Four legs good, two legs better". But, as I commute into Edinburgh each day in my comfortable, air-c0nditioned, walnut-inlaid, automatic transmissioned, cruise-controlled Merc, I wonder if two wheels might reconnect me to something I don't quite understand.

No, I'm not planning to cycle to work, but this image of a bike leaning casually against a lamppost caught my eye whilst out at lunchtime. MLC.
