Cycling in cities: Shifting up a gear

Rent-a-bike projects are cropping up in unlikely places
THIN air, thick smog and bad drivers make Mexico City hard going for cyclists. But a new fleet of 1,200 smart red “Ecobici” pay-as-you-go rental bikes, at 85 docking stations, marks the most ambitious recent addition to a global trend of municipally endorsed cycling. Since February 7,000 people have signed up, and between them they have taken more than 200,000 trips.
A low-tech scheme started in the French town of La Rochelle in 1974. Copenhagen launched the first big automated project in 1995. German cities, including Berlin, have tried versions paid for by mobile phone. But the most successful is the “Velib” in Paris, with 20,000 bikes available for users with swipe-cards. In London the transport authority and Barclays Bank will launch a 6,000-bike programme on July 30th. Users can pay at one of the 400 docking stations, or use a key with a chip. …

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson risks ire after making more offensive comments about the prime minister
Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson is facing new controversy after making more offensive comments about the prime minister, Gordon Brown, two weeks running in front of the hit BBC2 show’s studio audience, MediaGuardian.co.uk can reveal.
Clarkson, who previously had to apologise to the prime minister in February after calling him “a one-eyed Scottish idiot”, is understood to have described Brown as a “cunt” in not-for-broadcast comments to the studio audience during the recording of this week’s Top Gear programme on Wednesday night.
At the filming of the previous week’s Top Gear, on Wednesday 15 July, Clarkson also called Brown a “cunt” as part of a joke he made in front of the studio audience, one person present told MediaGuardian.co.uk. This remark was not included in the transmitted version of the show on Sunday, 19 July.
The BBC2 controller, Janice Hadlow, was present at the second recording this Wednesday and is said to have confronted Clarkson about the remark.
A BBC spokeswoman confirmed that the pair had a “conversation”, but said the issue was now over. “There was a discussion about the programme,” she said. “It is certainly not an ongoing issue.”
It is understood that Hadlow did not ask Clarkson to apologise for the incident.
In a further statement, the BBC said: “Janice went to watch a recording of Top Gear as it is BBC2′s top-rated programme, and as controller of BBC2, she holds both the programme and Jeremy in high regard. After the recording, she and Jeremy had a discussion about the programme as controllers and presenters often do.”
Downing Street declined to comment.
Clarkson is currently in Belfast, where he is filming for Top Gear in the city’s new sewer system. His manager had not returned calls before publication.
This week’s episode of Top Gear, which airs on BBC2 on Sunday at 8pm, features AC/DC singer Brian Johnson as the star in a reasonably priced car.
Clarkson and his co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May will also be attempting to buy a pre-1982 car at auction with a budget of £3,000 each and taking part in a classic car rally in Majorca.
During a press conference in February in Australia, Clarkson compared Brown to Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd, after Rudd had just addressed the country on the global financial crisis.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a world leader [Rudd] admit we really are in deep shit,” Clarkson was reported as saying in the Australian newspaper.
“He genuinely looked terrified. Poor man, he’s actually seen the books. We have this one-eyed Scottish idiot who keeps telling us everything’s fine and he’s saved the world, and we know he’s lying but he’s smooth at telling us.”
Clarkson, whose Sunday Times columns are syndicated in the Weekend Australian, was referring to Brown, who lost his sight in one eye in an accident playing rugby as a teenager.
Clarkson was forced to apologise after a barrage of criticism from politicians and disability groups.
In a statement, he said: “In the heat of the moment I made a remark about the prime minister’s personal appearance for which, upon reflection, I apologise.”
Clarkson is no stranger to controversy. In November last year he opened the latest series of Top Gear by suggesting that truck drivers only cared about fuel prices and murdering prostitutes, drawing hundreds of complaints.
The presenter and his Top Gear co-hosts were also condemned by the BBC Trust in July for “glamourising the misuse of alcohol” by drinking at the wheel during a Polar special.
The BBC Trust’s editorial complaints unit said a special edition of the motoring show, aired in July 2007, in which Clarkson and May attempted to drive a pickup truck to the magnetic north pole, broke its guidelines.
In the programme, Clarkson and May were shown drinking gin and tonics as they raced Hammond, who was using a sled pulled by a team of dogs, to reach the pole.

Clarkson makes C-word attack on PM
The Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson is at the centre of a new controversy after again making offensive comments about the prime minister in front of the BBC2 show’s studio audience.
Clarkson, who previously had to apologise to Gordon Brown in February after calling him “a one-eyed Scottish idiot”, described him as a “cunt” in not-for-broadcast comments during the recording of this week’s Top Gear programme on Wednesday night.
The BBC2 controller, Janice Hadlow, was present at the recording and is said to have confronted Clarkson about the remark. A BBC spokeswoman confirmed the pair had a “conversation”, but said the issue was now over.

After the recording, she and Jeremy had a discussion about the programme as controllers and presenters often do.”
At the filming of the previous week’s programme, on 15 July, Clarkson also used the same word to describe Brown as part of a joke, one person present told the Guardian. This remark was not included in the transmitted version of the show on Sunday 19 July.
“Clarkson was talking about a government policy and said as his payoff line: ‘The reason you can’t do that is because Gordon Brown is a cunt,’ ” the eyewitness said. “Everyone found it very funny.”
Downing Street declined to comment, although the Conservative MP John Whittingdale, the chairman of the House of Commons culture, media and sport select committee, criticised the presenter.
“Many people will find that offensive, many people will find that word in particular very offensive,” he said. “I am surprised he felt it appropriate to use it.”
Clarkson, who is currently in Belfast filming for Top Gear in the city’s new sewer system, could not be contacted for comment.
During a press conference in February in Australia, Clarkson courted controversy by using personal remarks to criticise Brown’s handling of the global financial crisis.
“We have this one-eyed Scottish idiot who keeps telling us everything’s fine and he’s saved the world, and we know he’s lying but he’s smooth at telling us,” he said.
Brown lost his sight in one eye in an accident playing rugby as a teenager. Clarkson was forced to apologise after a barrage of criticism from politicians and disability groups. “In the heat of the moment I made a remark about the prime minister’s personal appearance for which, upon reflection, I apologise,” he said in a statement at the time.
The controversy was just the latest to hit the 49-year-old presenter, who is one of the star attractions of Top Gear, which regularly pulls in more than 6 million viewers.
In November last year, he suggested that truck drivers only cared about fuel prices and murdering prostitutes, drawing hundreds of complaints.
The presenter and his Top Gear co-hosts were also condemned by the BBC Trust in July last year for “glamorising the misuse of alcohol” by drinking at the wheel during a polar special.
