Hi,

You're subbing my entry on commuting by bike. I noticed a couple of errors (mine I'm sure):

"you really can experience the freedom, that which the car should offer" should probably read "you really can experience that freedom which the car should offer" - possibly with the addition of "but doesn't"

Comments on lights should probably link to http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A686784

Comments on clothing should probably link to http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A667848

"a head torch (a bright light mounted on the helmet is a good choice for this" missing closing bracket after "helmet" (or could be a footnote)

"stationery" instead of "stationary"

"The Highway Code" shouold probably link to http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A685235

National bike week starts 12 June - it would be great if this entry was put up for national bike week, but I quite understand that these things are outside the control of those whose names appear not in italic.

And finally - thank you for leaving in "You could put the savings in a pot and get something you really want" complete with link - I would like you to know that this means a lot to me. Really. The Guide is all about personal perspectives, and leaving that link in is precisely what I think the Guide should be about. Informative, accurate where possible, hopefully complete, but written by real people with real opinions. A bit heavy, there, but I wanted to say it smiley - smiley
