ON YER BIKE

One of the few plus sides of the recent terrorist incidents in London is a noticeable rise in the number of shiny new bikes on the streets of the capital -- especially Bromptons.

Fears of further attacks seem to be encouraging people in their droves to emerge from the underground and join those of us who make our way around London on two wheels -- and sales of bikes and padded lycra shorts are apparently soaring.

An unexpected consequence of London under siege may be a fall in the size of the capital's collective waistline.
