2 wheels good, 4 wheels bad
No Congestion Charges here. Margaret Lee in Vespa's July '66 campaign
With the Congestion Charge starting in just a couple of weeks on February 17 you'll be in need of your two-wheeled friend more than ever, and while all vehicles are not equal, some are more equal than others. It may not cause as much envy at the office as a shiny Vespa, but a push-bike will help get your rear into shape to flaunt your bikini or speedos this summer. Price promise, free delivery and prices starting below £100 at Discount Bicycles.

As a devoted scooter owner I laugh in the face of traffic jams, I tweak the
nose of roadworks and I chuckle to myself when I see my fellow commuters
sitting glumly in their cars. Except when it's raining. Which it does. A
lot.

That was until I discovered the Urbano Tucano leg warmer. And boy does it warm my legs - and my heart!

Made from a heavy duty waterproof fabric and lined with fake fur to keep out the chills, the leg warmer attaches easily on to your 2-wheeled friend and can be locked onto it when you're not around to prevent it from being easily removed! The other great thing is that it covers the saddle too, so when you return you have a clean and dry seat.

Being the low-key, understated doyenne of style that I am, I chose the zebra print for my lovely bike, but there are other options - snakeskin, hyena or cheetah. Or plain black if you must.

Originally from Italy, where they really understand the scooter and its rider, this company has a great selection of fun accessories (bear ears or cow horns for your helmet anyone?) and essential gear (see above) for all makes of scooter. They can now be found at BMG Scooters.
