On what basis? Are you really saying people should have to pay to use a
bicycle but then be banned from making use of the roads?!

All I'm saying is, if bikes were taxed, you would lose the ability to
demand they go away from you.

And all I'm saying is that if they want to complain about the roads and
other drivers they should pay for the priviledge. Once they do then they can
whinge and bitch as much as they like, until then they can - to use an
americanism - talk to the hand.

It doesn't seem to be cyclists I hear moaning...

You must have cloth ears then. Every other week there's some shrieking crustie
on the TV or local radio saying "something must be done!" about cycling
deaths in London. I know - how about cyclists learn to use their ****ing
eyes and common sense and don't go up the inside of a truck or bus turning
left! You never know, it might just work.
