If I was Prime Minister I would ban all bicycles. 😂

Great to see!

I'd ban Miatas.

How normal. Not at all deranged.

Caveat: The City of London is 1.1 square miles in area. It should not be confused with the Greater London Built-Up Area, which is more than 650 square miles in area, and is what most people mean when they say "London".

Still great to see, but just something to be aware of.

They're called MX-5's in the UK.

To be honest, you'd have to be mad to try to drive a car through "The City Of" during the day anyway, for at least the last... what? 15, 20 years?

That's why you shouldn't be a prime minister

But people do!

I swear that's just as a status symbol.

"Look at me, I can afford to drive through London at a snail's pace and pay through the nose for the pleasure of doing so, then be unable to park even at enormous expense"

From across the pond; go Tottenham

With the endless number of one-ways, ridiculously narrow roads, and almost no parking, I'm surprised anyone still drives in London (not just the City of London).

Yeah. But It feels like saying there are more bicycles than cars in my garage.

is there some reason it's so oddly specific or is it just brits being weird

City of London is the financial district of London. It's where all the biggest office buildings are. So this is saying that in that neighborhood where lots of people commute to every day, there are more bikes than cars.

London itself is a sprawling city, that extends from the urban Central London (which is what most people think of when they hear London) all the way out to suburban homes.

As it should be.

C'mon lads, we got them outnumbered!

"Do you have a permit to ride that bike?"

Sad Jeremy Clarkson noises

It's essentially a local council area. There's also the city of Westminster next door (although that's a bit bigger). Most parts of London are called "London Borough Council." It's basically the area that London used to be under the Romans.

I do find this uplifting.

Cyclists, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains! Which are quite important actually, nevermind post abandoned.

there reason is to tax dodge essentially. Its allowed its own laws (to an extent) which means its heavily used to funnel money to tax havens.

Lol. Sure it is.

It’s the modern version of Freemen of the City driving sheep over London Bridge just because they can.
