@HaaaaWords @BillyTheDragon @GamingDaveUK @willydunn It must be a very sad lonely place where you are, please get help. The Samaritans are a wonderful charity and they have far more patience than me. Also, try not to kill anyone today either.

More than twice as many people are killed by bees and wasps per year than by cyclists. Also, bees can travel at up to 32km/h. Number plates on bees!

@All_Nate_Long @BillyTheDragon @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn Cool, impossible to do within decades.

@BillyTheDragon @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn Not sure you(or I for that matter) should be worried about it.

@Baballso @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn I’m in the US. These debates are applicable to both the UK and US. Both have streets, cars, and bikes. Same issues, different sides of the pond. Twitter is global, so Americans and others are reading this thread too.

@BillyTheDragon @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn Are you an expat? Seems like you are US based. Why do you care?

@Baballso @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn It’s apparent you don’t care about roads being safer overall and just have a grudge against cyclists. Because roads are very dangerous and a trivial amount of that is caused by bikers, but here you are focusing on the minuscule.

@BillyTheDragon @magoniareview @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn Fair enough tbh, there needs to be special dispensation for kids. It's a very important part of growing up.

@Baballso @magoniareview @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn Yes, he is, but in very limited location and distance, where it’s relatively safe.

@BillyTheDragon @magoniareview @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn You're never going to get everyone on a bike for all transport, so you might as well startling both things.

@magoniareview @Baballso @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn I would do everything possible to get more people to bike and not drive. Licensing/registering hinders that, putting more people in cars, which are far more dangerous.

@BillyTheDragon @magoniareview @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn Hes not cycling on the road Is he?

@magoniareview @Baballso @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn Yeah, my 10 year old son shouldn’t need to register his bike. He’s not dangerous, cars are dangerous to him, and I want safer streets so he can ride on them.

@BillyTheDragon @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn We can do both. If people need to cycle they can put up with a bit of admin.

@Baballso @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn The original reply was about registering/licensing bikes/cyclists. If you genuinely want roads to be safer overall, then you want more people biking because that means fewer people driving, which would make roads safer. Licensing/registering bikers hinders that.

@BillyTheDragon @magoniareview @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn Its just about accountability and anyone scared or inconvenienced by that probably doesn't have the best intentions or courtesy to other people.

@magoniareview @Baballso @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn Not saying that at all. Just saying cars do much much much worse. And road design is a major factor.

@BillyTheDragon @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn So let's not try and create fair safe behaviours of cyclists until we can replan and construct all the built environment. Got ya. Just think before you speak.

@Baballso @GamingDaveUK @HaaaaWords @willydunn “…roads primarily designed for cars”You’ve identified the actual problem. Focus on that, not cyclists. Poor road design leads to bad driving as well as bad cycling. Fix the road design.
