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.

I don't know what youre whinging about Ted....try living in cambridge in the winter months. The blasted students hop on their bikes, no lights, wobble along the lanes and wonder why the hell they get knocked off. Then its the car driver who gets into trouble....! the local police were giving out free light sets to people stopped last year. (A £20 fine, but a free set of lights worth over £30 !!!). But it still didn't stop the little booogggers. And then you get the women/men biking their children to/from school with the child attached to the back in a little buggy like contraption - how the hell are you supposed to see them when the slither out of a side turning heading in your direction - [xx(][:(!]

Awe come on Pookie me "whinge" ? I just enjoy a bloody good moan.
I do feel sorry for you in Cambridge but try walking on Dartmoor miles from nowhere when all of a sudden you get about a dozen lycra clad mountain biking f**k wits suddenly decend on you from out of the mist frightning the crap out of my dogs and fellow walkers on several occasions knocking someone for six.
I don't deny thier right to ride on the bridle paths but wish they would exercise a little more care,in March we had a cyclist hit a rock whilst cycling accross the moor (not on a bridle path) and sustained some nasty injurys he had the bloody cheek to try and sue the national park for not maintaining safety standards on the moor needless to say he got a rather sarcastic reply from the land owner ,on yer bike Mr.
