Boris doesn't have a hope in hell of winning the election, IMO.

This is what I want!!!

Put cycling on the political agenda, even if Boris has no hope, I "hope" he gets the others candidates i.e. to be more serious about cycling.

This can only serve to help cycling in London.

Vote for cycling

Can't argue with that!

Apparently Ken wants to set up a huge bike hire system, similar to the one is Paris.

Boris may be serious but even if he brings cycling to the agenda I doubt the others will really be serious about it. They will just say things in response to Boris.

Why doesn't he set up one like the one in Hammersmith?
