City gridlocked after bike ride: "Hundreds of motorists were stuck for hours in traffic as the annual London to Brighton Bike Ride once again left roads gridlocked ... Roads were plunged into chaos, renewing calls for a park-and-ride scheme and complaints that rail companies would not take bikes on trains during the event." Well, what did they expect? Bring back the slam-door trains!

Please look up the word 'gridlock' – you will however, need an American dictionary as it is not an English word and it cannot be used to describe a traffic jam or hold-up in England.
The quote isn't mine -- it's from the Argus! Seems like a pretty good word though - a superior traffic jam?
