All the bike lanes lead nowhere

Umm, cyclists are already banned from the sidewalks/pavements in the UK. Doesn't stop them doing it, of course, as the law is virtually never enforced. It's hard to enforce laws against unidentifiable people who move too fast for plod to catch. This is one of the many reasons that cyclists should be made to carry registration plates. -- David Cantrell | Godless Liberal Elitist Lesbian bigots try to put finger in linguistic dyke: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7376919.stm |

Plus compulsory third party insurance (and let's have no more of the ******** about it being included in household insurance, because a great many people don't have that cover). |

This is one of the many reasons that cyclists should be made to carry registration plates. A bigger problem is posed by pedestrians, of course. I've never been hit by a cyclist, but I have been thrown from my bike on a busy road by a pedestrian, and there was no easy way of identifying him (he was subsequently identified by witnesses, but apparently the CPS don't act on mere ABH if the victim is young and male). Perhaps tattooed numbers somewhere obvious would do the job? It could be made optional, only required if you wish to leave your house. -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |
