Default Green Party lunacy


You can be nicked for not rideing a Bike in a fit and proper manor......and

local bye laws come into it as well.......I,even as cyclist ,think we get
away with a lot.....we should have 3ed party..pay a one off road tax on new
bike's.......we pay nothing in and take quite a lot out...p46

The thing is though, the government are trying to *encourage* cycle use
and discourage car use, and any such costs/inconveniences would just
drive cyclists back to their cars.
Also the amount of damage that cyclists do to the road surface and the
pollution they create is negligible compared to motor vehicles which is
what road tax supposedly pays for.
