Those canny Welsh have pipped us at the post. Again. Not only did they win the ‘most alcoholics as a percentage of population (not including sheep)’category in the olympics, then topped it with ‘most Welsh-speakers anywhere in the world’, but now they’ve declared first in the ‘Cities fit to Cycle’ campaign initiative. Its about pledging cycle and walking paths to encourage people to, er, well, er, walk and cycle more for small, city journeys rather than fire up the Ferrari to pop to Tescos for a pint’a milk or catch a flight to the bookie shop on the corner to put a fiver each way on Craig Bellamy’s next goal.
