Lots of 'ifs' and 'buts' there i know and who even knows if he'll be in that position by the time that info comes out.

me? days off? everyone knows that would never happen, what with the stingy public sector holiday entitlements and all that...
it's possible that charging schemes
may be introduced in some boroughs and that these
may include bikes, though remember apart from anything else we have a single number plate and are therefore a bigger pain in the bum to try and keep tabs on from a payment/enforcement perspective.
For that reason, and the fact that we don't cause congestion or significant carbon emissions, we should be left alone from the TfL Congestion Charge.
IMO more of a concern to bikers in London are:
a) paying to park, esp in Westminster!
b) the idea of road user charging on a broader, national scale, which is likely to hit congested London the hardest - a longer term one this though
