Bill, Bill, Bill...you had to go ahead and open up a 'dead thread' didn't you?
Well, since I don't have the wonderful self control of Bo...let me take this one
Now, Bill, NO-ONE is disagreeing that cycling is good for you...ah, the exercise, the fresh air, the great cameraderie of yellow spandex, the contribution to the ecological well-being of the planet, the ability to hug trees as you cycle past, smelling the roses, being at one with nature, riding and chatting three-abreast oblivious of anyone behind you, averaging 2.3 miles per hour, breaking the rules of the road whenever they get in your way...but all these points are irrelevant and that was NOT the point of the original post!
Why should cyclists get to experience all these wonderful benefits of cycling AT NO COST, was the point!!!!
Let's take all the hyperbole OUT of the thread and reduce this to one simple question...
"Why shouldn't cyclists have to pay for using the road?"
Bill????
Al...you still there?
LOL
Glyn
PS, Bill this is NOT about 'HATING' cyclists, just asking them to pay their way!!!!! (ooh, and perhaps GETTING THEM OUT OF EVERYONE ELSE'S...LOL)
