Getting back to the mainland and having cars everywhere was a bit of a shock. Life on the island was better, best cycling ever and I could ride side by side with my friend, chatting.
There was also an abundance of fresh fruit - blackberries - so I didn't have my lunch, I just ate all that I could eat from the fresh food available at the roadside, all of it organic, none of it washed, all of it freshly picked fresh.
With the quietness due to the absence of cars I could say hello to people cycling the other way. Beeping or waving through a window in a tin box is just naff, and not as civilised.
The road surface was also pretty much perfect, not ruined by motor vehicles. There was a complete absence of the grey filth that is on the roadside of the roads on the mainland.
The sooner we get rid of cars, the better. They are economic traps for people. Obviously we have all got to eat, but, on the island with just a ferry, bus and lots of bicycles, they seemed to be correctly nourished - no fat people in cars to be found.
