They're everywhere!

More and more going up in London, making traffic jams even more with heavy traffic.  Meanwhile cyclist swan passed red lights, why arnt they nicked like car drivers?

What I want to know is, why don't cyclist pay road tax, insurance? They have their own road now!

It's not road tax, it's emissions tax. When did you ever see a push bike with an exhaust at the back with fumes coming out? bored

Cyclists round here seem to prefer the pavements to the roads, they are a bloody menace.

 Here it's sorta based on weight.  Bicycles don't weigh enough to tear up the roads.

 It's not just about tax, they should be insured and have road test.  They cycle passed red lights, how they've not been hit I don't know, well some have, but the car drivers get the blame.  It causes so much traffic jams here now.  The road is smaller just so they get their lanes, bloody ridiculous.

Don't get me started on those ridiculous scooters.

 Isn't about 75% of your fuel costs a tax? 

 

They won't be paying that.  

 

I guess you another tax besides that?
