    "The daddy of all carbon racers is the Specialized S-Works McLaren Venge. That’s £12,000 — the cost of a decent family car. It purrs along at 20mph, eating up the tarmac."

    There is only one way to resolve this....

    I work with these guys every day (no, don't worry, I'm fine) and not one of the PM's or traders I've spoken to cycle.

    The only one I know is a CIO, who I saw had a battered Brompton next to his desk, so I asked him if he liked it, to which he replied in the positive.

    I mentioned to him I was thinking of getting one to commute from Paddington to The City, and his response was "Oh, that's too far!!!" :)

    I like this comment:
    Now it all makes sense, I am one of the unfortunate people who use Richmond Park, on foot who has to dodge these, arrogant, aggressive people who ride at speeds way above the limit and insult you if you dare to cross the road in front of them. I see they take their work home with them.
    Surely he should look before he crosses the road, even in the park. Nice random comma, placement too.
