I'm so green I cycle

I forgot to mention, when David Jenkins, my local LibDem county councillor turned up to subject me to a loyalty test, he asked if I had attended the vote count at the county offices. I said I had thought of cycling over, but since there is actually no way to get to the new town of Cambourne on a bike (alive), I hadn't.
He looked at me oddly: 'You're that green, hey?'
Yes, councillor, I'm that green that even though I have a car, I don't make unnecessary car journeys, especially when it's a gorgeous day, preferring to ride my bike instead.

And what is more I don“t believe in risking my life unnecessarily on a bike to go to no vote count in Cambourne (or wherever).

Plus if you are an anarchic green you are staying "true" to your colours by not voting, and cycling in the other direction, being green
