Cracking down on folding bikes
Over the years, I've been kinda mean to folding bikes and riders of folding bikes. And now, according to the Beeb, the backlash is in full swing in Londontown, as folder-commuters are taking up more space on the tube, flashing their goods in spandex shorts, and even --wrath of Vulcan!-- building their bikes enroute, rather than having the courtesy to wait until their station stop. 
Of course, there's an easy solution: Build bigger train cars with bike-specific accomodations. But it's better, apparently, to let pointless class resentments brew.
On the other hand, I've got an even better solution. Provide more bike parking at train stations. Thataway, commuters can leave a clunker singlespeed parked at their destination, rather than hauling those silly clown-bikes around.
