Since the parent used metric I'm going to assume he is European (or Canookian). It's easy to say "you should bike!" if you don't live in a place where it is over 34 degrees (Celsius) for much of the year with high humidity. I live in Atlanta and I walk to work - which for me is about a five minute walk. That's as far as I am willing to go - if it was ten minutes, I would need a shower by the time I got to the office most of the year. And Atlanta is hardly a hot city compared to many in the United States.

the wrong type of leaves on the track
I need to know what kind of leaves can stop a train...
I wondered this, too, so I did a Google search, and found this story: "The villain leaves that stop trains [standard.co.uk]"
The article finishes with a listing of the "Sinister Six": Ash, Horse Chestnut, Lime, Sycamore, Poplar, and Sweet Chestnut.

Rage-filled motorists such as you are a huge part of the problem. It's been my experience that most cyclists make a reasonable effort to follow the rules of the road.
The set of rules that is perceived as "normal" for cyclists is not the same as the one for motorists. You may consider that acceptable or not, but that is certainly true
It is routine for a cyclists to go straight on red light if the cross road is empty (and I've only seen a car go straight-on-red twice in my life). I have never seen a cyclist stop at the stop sign. Yes, motorists run stop signs often enough, but I don't recall seeing a cyclists ever stop at one.
And I am certainly yet to hear or see a cop _ticket_ a red-light or stop-sign running cyclist. Because it's not a big deal, right?
