"A Lady from my Street was knocked over by a Cyclist earlier, she has broken her Ankle and the Police have told her they will look into it, the Cyclist apparently was a 35 Year old Man on his way Home from Work and decided to jump onto the Pavement and lost control and hit her, should they have to be Insured ? what do you think ?" Yes if he doesn't want to be taken to the claims court for compensation. | |||

"Hmmmm. Think they should actually. Quite often i see them jumping the red lights, going up and down off of pavements etc. BUT - where do you draw the line?? Kids can use bycicles - and sometimes i think they are safer on the pavements than on the roads when drivers dont see them. " kids should be allowed on pavements,adults not.i am a biker myself and never use pavement and always aware of my surroundings. | |||

"they do use roads like the rest of us drivers.so should pay tax,i am sure the new goverment will spend the extra tax on the roads!" A lot of cars are exempt from tax though, especially ones with low emissions, which is zilch on a cycle. On a serious note, a lot of cyclists already have cycle insurance. | |||

"They should make all cyclists take out compulsory insurance at the age of 16 if they are using public roads, I feel the same about horses being ridden on the highway. " and all boat owners should have insurance for them to pay for the air sea rescue or lifeboat to help them! | |||

"They should make all cyclists take out compulsory insurance at the age of 16 if they are using public roads, I feel the same about horses being ridden on the highway. and all boat owners should have insurance for them to pay for the air sea rescue or lifeboat to help them!" That's quite a valid point actually. It might make these weekend sailors who go out in their woooly pullys, plimsols and caps with the bloody anchor on the front, think twice about their capabilities on the high seas ... Every week in the summer up here, our local ILB and AWB is launched and 9 times out of 10 it is for some plonker who hasn't got the faintest idea of what the hell they are doing when they go out to sea | |||

"50% tax!!! the wheels alone for my bike cost me nearly £400!!!" Well thats 200 notes for your insurance. Maybe if you have independent insurance then the vat can be claimed back. | |||

"Nnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooo! Don't mention the feckin horse shit!!!" whilst marshaling road cycling races you often get to see the impatient twerps of motorists who do not see why they should have to sit behind a bunch of racing cyclists doing only 30 mph!, they get out of the cars moan and groan at the marshalls as soon as the race turn off the main road,but i bet they sit quite contendedly behind a feckin horse for mile after mile and the horse does not pay road tax!. | |||

"something like 10% of car s are driven without so it would be even higher for cyclists not getting it and would be hard to enforce. Put a 50% Vat rate on bikes and use that for a compensation fund." Not exactly in keeping with the stated aim of encouraging more cycle use though is it? Many Nations used to have cycle registration schemes, most of which have been ditched because they always cost far more to implement than they raised in revenue. Even Switzerland is currently debating whether to abolish the 'velo vignette' for similar reasons. http://ipayroadtax.com/?p=85 Is a page on a website dedicated to tackling the myths and prejudice about cycling and the use of roads. I doubt however, that many of you will bother to actually read the article. It is easier to believe in the untruths that support your prepositions than it is to actually uncover the facts. | |||

"Wheres Mally???? " here, I pay extra life insurance that covers me for cycling on the road, this cover also includes damages to a 3rd party depending on the circumstances of course. It's quite a cheap add on to my normal life insurance | |||

"I live out in the sticks in an area that is very popular with supporters of the Nazi Trust who have a large house nearby, so at weekends, the already narrow tristy roads are already quite busy with grockles rubber necking at all of the buildings and other country paraininalia. Bearing this in mind, the LAST thing you want is prats on bikes riding three of four abreast around blind corners and only interested in beating each other on roads open to normal traffic. Even the most efficient marshalling in the world can`t stop the red mist when there`s someone in front of you that you could possibly beat and to hell with the consequences ... which is usually meeting me head on on one of the afore mentioned blind bends." Apologies! This was supposed to have been posted with a quote to post above commenting on cycle race marshalling. Sorry for any confusion. | |||
