@OliveOilx666 @let_part @but_cyclists @00sfield You're a tedious troll, Cynthia

@OliveOilx666 @let_part @but_cyclists @00sfield An adult cyclist in the UK is slightly more likely to have a driving licence than a general member of the adult population.

Drive up and back down hsverstock hill Roslyn hill See total of 3 cyclists Not a bad return on the mil or 2 spent on the raised curb cycle lane and narrowing of what was a perfectly good bit of flowing rd Ridiculous

@MandiganA @PlantsBikesBass You self-declare age and gender so yes..

@PlantsBikesBass First finishers, times, and records suggest otherwise 🤷‍♀️ But really, how hard is it to keep men out of the women's category though? I mean surely this is ISN'T exactly a big ask...? You wouldn't allow a 25 yr old into an over-50s category would you?

I started running parkrun in 2012 and I've volunteered 236 times. I've been a Run Director and Event Director because I love how it brings people together and encourages everyone to challenge themselves. It *is not* a competitive event and nobody races against anyone else.

@JasonKrono20230 @but_cyclists Nope

@but_cyclists Cyclists need to be licensed and insured if. On public roads. just like cars.

"I hate when cyclists do this because I can't do the same thing in my car"

@1AppleJonny @Middlesaxon2 @John77042873837 @markchristie Put it into 3rd and ease off the throttle. If you find that too challenging then driving in a city isn't for you, champ.

@Middlesaxon2 @John77042873837 @markchristie I struggle to keep car at 20 & approx 10mpg. Cars not made for this crap. Made to go faster than bicycles and not waste fuel (courtesy of govt who think 20 is plenty). 20 sure as hell isn’t fast enough for bikes 🤔 they know it, hence refusal to reg plate & fine them too..

Starting to think that the 20 mph limits aren’t actually about the revenue they generate for councils. Genuinely think it’s more about getting drivers banned so there’s less drivers on the road to help them hit their carbon targets. That’s more important to them than fuel duty.

@1AppleJonny @cathsbruv @but_cyclists I can teach you the Physics of why a 2 tonne motorised vehicle is much more dangerous to pedestrians than an 80kg cyclist - but I'd have to charge.. Meanwhile here's why it's a dumb idea.

@cathsbruv @but_cyclists So reg plate the bikes zooming past us then.. safe from what? Boomers on bicycles who had no speed limits during their youth? Do you often feel unsafe in a 30 😂

@Aeronaut4 @Badger8882 @ArtistCyclist @grok Aeronaut, come back when you understand that roads are paid from general taxation. Until then STFU

@Badger8882 @ArtistCyclist @grok I'm relieved that you're single handedly propping up the entire economy. Good job.

The motorists posting on this site complaining about 'a war on motorists' are providing all of the reasons why a genuine war on motorists would be a positive thing.

@OliveOilx666 @PaulOBrienArch @ErginErbil @EnfieldCouncil @Bad_Enfield You need a better job. And a better hobby.

@PaulOBrienArch @ErginErbil @EnfieldCouncil @Bad_Enfield I worked 16 hours on Sunday.... Tell me again what you did?

Dangerous drivers in Enfield on Sunday 12th April, blocking pavements & cycle lanes in Palmers Green & Windmill Hill. @ErginErbil @EnfieldCouncil @Bad_Enfield

@Wellthatsafirst @but_cyclists It famously has a greater affect on those who personally pollute the atmosphere by driving long distances. H2H, Duck.

@but_cyclists Yes, because the cost of fuel famously doesn't affect anyone who doesn't drive

Just drove past a fuel station and diesel is £1.90 🤯 glad I'm not living that life any more.

@tesa1945 @Jenny_1884 Nah

@Jenny_1884 Perhaps cyclists should pay a road tax and show a number plate?

Councils have narrowed our roads in order to make way for cycle lanes that nobody ever seems to use. There are far more motorists on the road than there are cyclists. Crazy waste of taxpayers money once again.

@1963Firestick @FoobarSaunders @TheMrLoophole @JeremyVineOn5 On your licence or just in general?

@FoobarSaunders @TheMrLoophole @JeremyVineOn5 🥱🥱🥱🥱 I've never had a single point in over 40 years 🤷🤷🤷

A spirited conversation today with @JeremyVineOn5 about when he reported a taxi driver, sat in stationary traffic at lights, using his phone behind the wheel. Whilst I agree the taxi driver was breaking the law, I am very worried that we are becoming a "snitch society" and how this type of reporting can cause friction between motorists and cyclists. You can watch the interview here. What are your thoughts? - youtu.be/XT64ELDtdvA. #cycling #motoringlaw #snitchsociety @CatharineHoey

@VincentStops Bit of a non-sequitur from you, there. We don't have them. Yet.

@chorltonjon That theory ain’t going so well though. Risk is rising.

In which Simon Munk of the London Cycling Campaign re-writes history. The cyclists told us if you built a load of cycle tracks people would switch from cars and thus reduce congestion. They didn’t and the motors are still here. transportxtra.com/publications/l…

@AManOnTheMove Don't believe you. If it were true then commuting cyclists would win olympic golds while wearing rucksacks..

Gentle reminder to my #cyclist trolls. In the majority of London (where I frequent and work) the speed limit is 20mph. I cycle (to be clear) and comfortably get close to that in many places on my average road ride, bikes shoot pass me and other road others WELL in excess of this!

@JeremyVineOn5 No, they're a terrible idea. There's a reason why only N Korea requires them.

Do we need to put registration plates on bikes? Police figures show hundreds of cyclists have triggered speed cameras; however, officers are reportedly powerless to give out speeding tickets as bikes have no identifiable markings. Would enforcing number plates help?

@AManOnTheMove @SarahLudford @PollyVernon Silly!

@LondonTrafficW1 Motorbike..

Road Safety E-bike cyclist sentenced over fatal crash as judge warns of 'frightening' danger of illegally modified bikes in London The Standard standard.co.uk/news/london/mo…

@JennyJones1313 Not going to happen, and for these good reasons.

UK urgently needs: - Cycling proficiency test/licence -cycling speed limits (electric& pedal) -bike registration no. so cyclists accountable -no cycling in parks/on pavements -mandatory bells/lights to alert people in dim light etc Cyclists can terrorise hurt & even kill others

@TheMrLoophole Why no start another doomed-to-fail petition?

Thousands of cyclists, e-bike and e-scooter riders are breaking the rules and yet no one is being held accountable. The law simply hasn’t kept pace. If we want safer roads, we need proper regulation, identification and enforcement. Please read my views in this article. #cycling

@HowardCCox @DailyMail @David_Churchill Also this, a succinct explanation about why this is a bad idea. But by all means start another doomed petition..

See my comments in @DailyMail to cyclists continually getting away with breaking road user speeding regulations at will @David_Churchill In opinion poll after opinion poll, FairFuelUK supporters have called for cyclists, especially e-bikers, to be taxed as road users, insured, required to have their bikes road-tested and registered so they are easily identifiable. A significant minority of riders treat the Highway Code’s speeding regulations and safety rules with utter contempt, continually behaving like arrogant, sanctimonious, unchecked outlaws. These untouchables not only ignore traffic lights and regularly exceed the speed limit but also risk collisions with other vehicles and, increasingly, illegally use pavements, endangering pedestrians. The police seem to believe that speeding on a bicycle is not worth prosecuting, much like a shoplifter stealing less than £200 worth of goods. Cyclists who break the road-user laws, like motorists, must never be ignored by the police, the courts, and this anti-driver Government. They must be treated exactly the same under the law, according to the severity of their offence. @Coolfin6 @advancesarah @DRhodes65 @danwootton @daveatherton @benhabib6 @the_tpa @raymasseytweets
