Such dangerous weapons have no place on the public highway.</p> <p>45) Cyclists are often perverts, who cycle incessantly due to addiction to the stimulating friction of their thighs during pedalling. We cannot allow this to take place on broad daylight outside schools and hospitals. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10310#post-112365 Thu, 30 May 2013 15:43:21 +0000 steveo 112365@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well its one approach to achieving segregated cycle lanes.

When we overtake we're forced to use the wrong side of the road.<br /> 2) Cyclists don't pay road tax.<br /> 3) Most can't cycle in a straight line.<br /> 4) A lot don't wear any helmets.<br /> 5) Cyclists don't have to obey the Highway Code.<br /> 6) Cyclists have no insurance so if a cyclist damages a car the owner will likely have no compensation.<br /> 7) Some cycle double-abreast, creating an even greater hazard.<br /> 8) They are a danger to themselves and drivers as they can't keep up with a decent road speed. If a car was caught by Police travelling at a cycle's speed the driver would be fined for obstructing others and/or dangerous driving.</p> <p>I'm not sure if it's trolling or not.... </p>
