Good morning, good evening, Matthew Grant here, partner at INS-DEC. Welcome, and I'm recording this on a day of train and underground strikes here in London,

0:22.9

but I've got quite addicted to the air conditioning in our WeWork office, and so dusted down my bike,

a wonderful bike super highway going through bits of London with no vehicles and its own traffic
