:lolol: Very humorous.

Blind bends and national speed limit.

Same with us really the B526 has too many blind bends to make it entirely safe for cycling that and the national speed limit and the odd cow straying out in the road which happened to me last year bloody terrifying. P.S. Most agricultural vehicles are exempt from Vehicle tax.

I like the satire but I too live in a rural area a good few miles from a village or town, cycling is an option but not advisable as the country lanes and roads are very dangerous. Tesco is too far away but we do have a CO-OP.

Me too! This tinternet thingy is effing hard to learn for us effing stupid people. :mad:

You can purchase it online now so why would you go to the Post Office how effing stupid of you. :lolol: Oh and as we are the ones paying it we can call it whatever we effing like! In 70-80 yrs when all the fossil fuel has been depleted we will be calling it effing something else TAX. :facepalm:

I agree with you and local councils and governments should be doing more but where are the funds to improve the infrastructures going to come from.

I didn't say they were unused did I? And I agree with you the infrastructure needs to be improved in many towns and cities.

Yes but common sense in some people Cyclists and Motorists alike just isn't apparent. All road users need to be safe. You sound like an experienced cyclists and motorist and use common courtesy as well as little self preservation when out cycling, I occasionally cycle and know how dangerous it...

Really so you think it is ok that a cyclist is not legally bound to wear a protective helmet on todays busy roads?

You are correct sir, but cycle law is very flimsy indeed, a cyclists is not legally obliged to use a cycle lane or wear a protective helmet or put their lights on when its foggy or adverse weather, Highway Code Rule 66: States that cyclists should never ride more than two abreast and ride in...

Yes Rule 66 of the Highway code but it also states that cyclists should ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding around bends. It is perfectly legal for cyclists to ride side by side on most roads. It may however be sensible to cycle in single file on narrow roads or where a...

In what way have I been burned? Please explain.

If you had bothered to read my earlier post I was clear that both parties in the clip were being T**ts. But I do think at times cyclists don't do themselves any favours when on the public highways.

But :censored: dangerous and foolish on the part of the cyclists.

But they still use the roads, also we pay for cycle lanes via our taxes.

But the fact still remains the cyclist pays nothing via the road tax system, we all pay Income tax, VAT and National insurance. Ridiculous back at you sir!

If as Mr. Duncan Pickering states that a bicycle is a vehicle on the road then cyclists should contribute via taxes the same way any other vehicle uses has to.

Well maybe if the cyclists contributed to the up keep of the roads like the tax paying motorist then they might be a whole lot safer on them.
