Cyclists and Cycling.
« on: May 04, 2009, 16:28:23 PM »
Over the years i have enjoyed riding my bike as a boy and now as an old f*rt but cycling these days has become a hazardous activity not only for the cyclist but for all road users and there is an ever growing number of cyclists that have become a pain in the arse.

I think it would be a good idea if the Government made it compulsary for all cyclists to pay road tax and to be insured. After all they pay nothing to maintain the roads and cycle lanes (or pavements)that they ride on also the insurance would cover any damage incurred to other road users and pedestrains alike.

Horse riders lookout!!![^]

How about taxing pedestrians as well? After all they use the pavements, and roads, don't have to pass a test or get license, and aren't covered by insurance.

On the other hand, perhaps we could make our roads safer by shooting bikists who jump red lights and mow down pedestrians.

Get rid of the police and employ the Gurkhas,no holds barred.

Come to think of it,they could replace our court judges too.
