There were 27,000 people on the London to Brighton Bike Ride, including myself. People moan about the traffic chaos and the litter, but the ride generates a lot of business for the town and raises millions for charity.

The same applies to other events, such as Gay Pride and football matches at Withdean. They only last for short periods and then everything returns to normal, so what's all the fuss about?
