Another way to live without money is to bike everywhere, but this has its own problems...

It appears that the credit crunch has a lot to answer for. Not only is it creating gloom on the UK economy but it has also contributed to an increase in accident claims. In a bid to keep fit, save money and help the environment, many workers have turned to cycling.

A good idea in theory, but in practice it has already began to create problems with drivers. We all know that there is an ongoing feud with the motorists’ vs. the biker but new issues are now starting to fuel the fire.

Road accidents have apparently gone up because of inexperienced cyclists, who are crashing into cars, curbs and generally being ‘ignorant of basic road rules’ quoted by an insurance company. With the new lane opened in London for cyclists too, it isn’t looking good for the helmet wearing folk.
