Nijo Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 (edited) Good luck to them, though I see it's already dropped from 10p to 5-7p. So it'll finish at around 3p then, eh? BTW, to really cut the cost of living you need to move closer to work, sell the car then walk/bike to work. More healthy too!

MarkG Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 (edited) More healthy too! Depends: there was a study last year claiming that the harm caused by breathing in diesel spew (e.g. from buses) while cycling more than compensated for any health benefits. Of course if you live in the country rather than the city, that may not apply. Edited May 5, 2006 by MarkG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know what the crap is in those bus/lorry fumes and wheter the pollution masks are effective Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Don't remember where I read it originally, but Google found this story which seems to be talking about the same study: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/main.jht.../29/hcycl29.xml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Sacks Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hi Mark do you have a source of that study please. I would like to know what the crap is in those bus/lorry fumes and wheter the pollution masks are effective Cheers Other than NOX, CO, SO2, and VOC's, the main killers from diesel are PM10 and PM2.5. A good mask should protect you from these particulates but not the gases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it, the fumes arte not going to stop me.
