Life In The Fast Lane

Why don't you go and cycle down the motorway?

No, I'm not insulting you, I'm serious. You can take your bicycle for a spin down the M74.

Next Sunday, for a fee of £5, you can walk, jog or hurtle on your bike down the newly-built 13 mile stretch of the M74 safe in the knowledge that you're not going to get wiped out by a trucker who has fallen asleep because he's on the 15th hour of his shift, or a BMW-driving businessman who is too busy to buy a hands-free kit for his mobile phone. All money raised from this, lets face it, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is going to charity.

But if cycling down Glasgow's newest motorway doesn't appeal, then you could always let it all hang out and go naked on the streets of Edinburgh!
