I'd be well in favour of bringing in some sort of "road tax" for bicycles if it was based on the actual road wear caused by the vehicle. £10 per year for the heaviest e-bikes and £4,000,000 for an SUV is definitely a good starting point, with an emissions-based multiplier too.

This may come as a surprise to you but the vast majority of adult cyclists also drive. Just like me, most of them aren't anti-car. They're anti- bad drivers. 90% of the drivers I encounter are fine, but the 10% could end my life in an instant, and that's the issue.

@ediz1975 @Don_Specifico The cult are not really into cycling as a means of getting around, or as pleasure. For them their bikes are a pulpit from which to preach about their moral superiority and to make war on those of us who drive. Really they're Environmentalists who just hate ordinary people.

This is American automobile-dependence logic. You finance a massive, unnecessary truck that you can't afford, and when the bank comes to repossess it, you proclaim "nobody's taking this truck" and then immediately destroy the truck and seven other cars.

Somehow, cyclists riding around Regent's Park at 29mph is a big enough problem that action gets taken to prevent it, yet people can drive at 192mph on a motorway and absolutely nothing gets done to prevent it. Why can we buy cars capable of 3x the speed limit?

"by far the biggest risk to cyclists is simply falling off" Nope, not even close. Rider-only collisions account for 16% of fatalities and 4% of all injuries . 45% of fatalities and 77% of all injuries are collisions involving one car. That's "by far" the biggest risk.

There is no amount of money anyone could pay me which would make me want to do a 500 mile round trip commute every day unless it was on a train that did it in <1 hour. The fact that people are DRIVING this is fucking insane and far from normal. In fact, it's actually dangerous.

@philippaforrest I think theirs a middle ground. I travel to and from London 5 times a week, around 500 miles a day. Unfortunately an electric vehicle would add a lot of time onto an already long journey due to stops to re charge. To do this trip every now and again would be ok but not often

A significant number of people took up cycling during the COVID pandemic because motor vehicle traffic virtually evaporated and it was far safer and more pleasant to cycle on the roads when they were quiet. This graph perfectly shows why more safe cycle infrastructure is needed.

1) it wasn't an accident. The driver drove into the cyclist. 2) there is no mandatory clothing for cycling, so there is no possible way you can be held liable for a collision based on what you were wearing. How do people come up with this shit?

This cyclist, in a split-second decision chose safety - to ride on the pavement, over danger - to ride in front of a tipper truck. Hackney Council's Pembury design will do nothing to improve this situation. Our alternate design does not have cyclists mixing with motor traffic.

I've always wondered why some motorcyclists pay actual money to make their bike louder, and then ride it around residential areas as loudly as possible in the middle of the night. Do they absolutely hate everyone? Or are they just trying to make everyone hate them?

Genuine question for motorcyclists. When your bike is really loud, and we all turn around and look at you... why do you think we're looking at you? Do you think we're impressed? You realise 99% of us are just really annoyed at your narcissistic noise pollution, right?

Insurance isn't mandatory for bicycles, but like many others, I have it anyway - mainly due to the value of my bike, but the third party component was only £15 extra. When cyclists start causing damage like this, I will fully support mandatory third party insurance for cycles.
