I think that puts to bed the notion that cyclists should pay 'road tax'; we already contribute to the upkeep of roads through general taxation.



Personal choice I suppose. That said, cycle paths aren't always the most convenient option; some can be a couple of metres long; some actually don't lead anywhere etc. Road networks need to be planned with cycle lanes included not added later.



Fair enough. No female superheroes then



Drive with respect and care in that case. Thank you for helping.


hey no problem i will stop at green lights so morons can cross on the red light ,i won,t turn left any more so morons can undertake ,i wont use one way streets so morons can cycle up them the wrong way ,if there's any thing else i can do to assist these idiots let me know [but please be mindful that assisted suicide is frowned on in this country].
