Could be quick way to get Covid also
Colleague of mine lived near me and she drove in. I started to cycle some days a week - on way home we'd 'race' - she never won. I always caught her by the time she got to Wake Green Road, and she'd crawl along from there whilst I'd be on the pavement knocking down grannies and jumping red lights*.
* I never jump lights, and I only ran over a couple of grannies.

Shoppers going to Bull Ring?
Buses, taxies, trucks doing their work?
Few years ago I took a full page ad in local newspaper against this Mor Onic idea - it got some feathers ruffled apparently but obviously no result
Buses should be clean fuel by now. Taxis and lorries are big polluters so need to get clean.
