[NewsBot]

Cycling UK wants a new technique introduced to driving tests to stop cyclists being knocked off bikes

 

More...

There already is. It's called using mirrors

At the same time they should ban cyclists from riding three abreast, riding a cycle in a pedestrian mall, jumping red lights or my pet hate cycling in the middle of a lane preventing a motorist from passing them. Luckily most cyclist are responsible, but a few spoil it for the rest.

If cyclists want equal access to the road then equal responsibility must also apply, eg.. compulsory insurance and perhaps fixed number plates ?.

I've always said the same.

How dare you?

Cyclists are saving the entire planet, so they're entitled to do whatever they want on the road.

Not to mention the pavement

Apart from follow the rules

and they should be made to pay an annual license fee of £400 per bike to cover the costs of the millions of miles of cycle paths around the country that it cost the taxpayer to build that they can't be bothered to use.

[sgtbush]

Yea! And the cost of cycle tracks on duel carriageways that cyclists forget about

[king12345]

And the empty cycle highways built in london creating huge traffic (see embankment for example).

So for the sake of a few lycra wearer, thousands and even millions of motorists are stuck in traffic for hours everyday.

Talk about pollution and saving the planet...

And after making the state fork out millions for the useless cycle routes, they still get themselves under lorries and buses.

No reason why most drivers in london cant take public transport or get a bike themselves.

Give us a clue your actually having a laugh wit someone.

We have the office split 50/50 between the lycra wearers and the normal shower fresh employees.

It's a constant battle of laughable arguments, but the best ones are the ones about who to send to meetings in summer.

Of course the cyclist can't go because they smell having sweat to come to work (no showers here) and the non cyclists feel over worked.

Some sensible ones use a pack of wipes a day to have a dry shower when they arrive at the office, but frankly I prefer to avoid this show.

Funny thing is that all but one of the cyclists are well over weight and show no signs of slimming down because they feel entitled to eat 12000 calories a day having cycled for half hour in the morning.
