Happy to clarify, I am of course referring to your Holland example. |

| Amsterdam here we come... From personal observation, there seems to be a fundamental difference between cycling in Holland and in the U.K. (and I don't mean the lack of hills). In the U.K, the stereotypical cyclist is Lycra clad, rides an expensive bike (you mentioned £3,000), wants to act like a r... |

| Suppose the bus driver had been affronted by being cut off by the cyclist, stopped the bus, obstructed the cyclist's path so he couldn't go anywhere, got out and "tweaked" a part of the bike? What do you suppose the reaction of the cyclist would have been? How do you suppose the cyclist m... |

| The silence to the linked thread says it all. But there is more: 1 , 2 , 3 The basic anti-motorist person can't handle the fact that motorists generally actually don't believe they own the roads; indeed these people believe motorists should be removed from the roads ( 1 , 2 ). It's lovely of you to... |

| The problem with Brake is that long ago its reason for existance changed. It started out as a single issue campaign group and there's nowt wrong with that. But now Brake exists to see Brake in print, on TV and on the Internet. At first Brake existed to make a point, now it exists merely to exist. I... |

However, yesterday as I rode into work, I stopped to take this picture.... http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a399/Engraver/DSCI1487.jpg I feel bett... |

| Oddly I thought this debate was about cycling, but ok, I appreciate that you have gone to the trouble of putting some genuine thought into a post JBr, finally. Thanks, RobinXe, that means a lot.

This is not an administrative problem, it is a sociological problem, and as such requires solutions rooted in human behaviour, not ever more ludicrous taxation and registration schemes. Those antisocial cyclists do what they... |

| No. Anyone who is to be allowed to take 1.5 tonnes of powerful, high speed machinery into a public place and use it there should have compulsory training and be registered to demonstrate their competence in the use of that machinery. It really is a no-brainer! Right. It's about keeping things in pr... |
