good lord, i have to agree with thomas for once.
Alan, I cycle about 100 miles a week. AND I have - and tax - 3 vehicles.
Sorry, but your argument doesnt hold water. most cyclists are car owners or part of a car owning family, so they do pay road tax.
perhaps you'd also like pedestrians to pay road tax? after all, they have to cross the road - free of charge the bounders!
trouble with bike lanes is that they have to be part of an integrated system to work properly. you can't just paint a line on a road and call it a bike lane. theyre fairly useless like that.
in fairness to alan, it would help if kids actually got taught how to use bikes on the road.
oh, and you can get suits from people like rohan which can screw up and go in a bag and come out perfectly wearable. I use them for long distance travel.
