Here I am in March the start of spring and it gone cold, but at least the rain has become a little less.
I have recently returned from a short break to Bath. The trouble is I hired a car to get there and back! Why you may ask? Try the trains on a Sunday! 4hours 30mins and 4 changes including a bus journey at over £60 per person.
So the other option was going by coach... 7 hour journey anyone? Thought not. So how can I take my girlfriend away for a nice weekend. CAR! thats how.
Car hire, now that is a good idea! And got me thinking why the government doesn't offer some sort of subsidy [towards hiring for journeys] if you give up car ownership? For me living at the far end of England with little (or slow) public transport it would be great. I'm not sure about figures, but I would like to think this would bring C02 emissions down and stop alot of unnecessary journeys?
The picture at the top was taken by a friend, it was taken in Malta and shows how nice bike racks can look.
Cheers for now
