Cyclist good or bad ( Poll )

[bosshogg]

Cyclist can do what they want.... Pointless option. No one can do just as they please.
Cyclist should abide by the rules of the road...... Applies to all road users
Cyclist should pay Tax Insurance and a yearly MOT.... Maybe a case for some form of insurance, invalid if cycle is unroadworthy
Cyclist should be banned from busy town centers..... Nope, but Cars and Large Lorries should be during daytime hours.
NO Comment I am one of the Cyclist and keeping quiet... I'm a Cyclist and I find all road users are not as good as they should be, Me included. When any one group of users are perfect then they can criticise others without being hypercritical.

+1 to studders...I'm no longer able to ride a bike myself, but if you want to comment on the subject you must look at the holistic picture, not just the vested interest view that appears to have crept in here...bosshogg :|

There's argument, there's debate and then there is the ridiculous!
Come on Jacob... be sensible please?

Pavements, zebra crossings, footbridges, don't grow on trees you know!
Cyclists requirements are similar (shared?) and would also take traffic off the roads.
We are just years behind other places. Have a look at that Copenhagen link.

What about slot-meters on zebra crossings?
Turn-stiles on footbridges?

And many pedestrians, mothers with prams, cyclists and skateboarders :mrgreen: also own cars. So I would suggest they contribute. Also a good slice of Council Tax goes towards upkeep of roads, pavements and bridges. At least where I live that's so.
