cyclist should always stay kerbside

equally belllends on cars should not hog the kerb and stay a fair dostance so cyclist can use the area of road.


Finally cyclist should be allowed to use pavements when empty of pedestrians to minimise any disruptipnbto cars and themselves.

Cyclist and drivers are equally a pain in the arse

Designed by a driver who has never cycled I would guess.

The other way around I think.

Difficult to tell what he’s doing wrong there. Looks like a busy built up area where 20mph is more than fast enough. If there’s similar traffic on the other side then the narrow road may not allow enough room for drivers to overtake safely.

20mph would not be too bad but most cyclist don't achieve that.

I blame the bbc. Mind you, I don’t pay my licence fee anyway.

That’s why I put road tax in scare quote marks to sarcastically emphasise the term.

That’s not really my point. The photo shows a mix of cars, buses, cycles and pedestrians. Nobody is losing much time behind a cyclist at 10 to 12mph for a minute or two.

It's Vehicle Excise Duty, and has been for many years.
