Boris Johnson might be a horrible football player but one exercise he definitely loves is cycling - we call them Boris Bikes for heavens sake.

Well known as a mayor who cycles everywhere, Boris is now contemplating car-free times on certain London roads after seeing the successes of a similar scheme during a trip to Jakarta. In the Indonesian capital, cars are banned from specific areas from 6am-11am on Sundays and instead open to pedestrians and street stalls.

"We have been thinking about it for ages. I don't think you are going to get the British people out of bed at six in the morning to do it quite like that but it is certainly food for thought." He said.
