How many cyclists do you know who don't own a car? The only one I can think of is our local Green councillor, and he never dresses in Lycra or gets in anyone's way.


I don't know of any cyclists that pay tax on their bicycle, which was my understanding of the posters meaning.

Given that they cause a disproportionate amount of delays and accidents they should perhaps be taxed at a commensurate rate, say £500/year.

I would love to ride my bicycle on the road but given your earlier statistics I'll stick to hanging around with Islamic terrorists, it's obviously much safer. wink

Agreed, not only with my old Kawa,....B1800 also! doh

Mind you I don't know a single car owner who pays road tax. wink

Although being that most on here are Morgan owners perhaps this is the right place to bring things up to date and remind everyone that the last time it could have been classified as a specific "road tax" was 1937 - or around the time you retired.
