More tax me thinks , time for a Monkey bike? , either that or I'm going to start taking the piss and put on my giganitic paniers that make me as wide as a car.

That's for westminster, and here's what kensington & chelsea is planning:

Meanwhile, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is also reducing its number of free bike bays.

From spring, many of the spaces in residential areas will be turned into resident-only motorcycle bays. Although they will be equipped with ground anchors, bikers will have to pay £50 for a permit - 278% more than the current £18.

"We will continue to provide free motorcycle parking bays for visitors as well," a borough spokesman said.

Since the start of the congestion charge in February 2003, the number of "powered two-wheelers" registered in Greater London has increased from 98,000 to 111,000 last year, according to the Department for Transport.

TfL said it had no plans to introduce a congestion charge for motorcycles.

let's hope they don't figure out a way to get around that one. Next they'll start claiming that there are some many bikes now that this is causing congestion.
