get 'free' use of the roads too.

Really Dave that old canard?

Cyclists pay as much tax as motorists.

Bollox. No VED, and no taxation on their fuel.


Bollox - their fuel is FOOD, which is usually taxed.
Even bottled water is taxed.

Local roads are paid for out of COUNCIL TAX, so when you drive into
another county, a non driving cyclist who pays that council tax is
paying for the upkeep of the roads that YOUR car is damaging.



Do non driving cyclists use the road or the pavement?

Or do they chose the most dangerous option to make themself look like
a ****?

I knocked one off his bike in London at Tower Bridge last Saturday. It
was a deliberate knock off the bike.
