I despise the Heil but the old adage of you should keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer - so you know what the buggers are up to, is more relevant than ever so I was particularly concerned about this.
This cycling-hating rag is claiming ministers are looking at ways to restrict our freedoms and introduce speed limits on bikes. In order to persecute - and prosecute - the miscreants, bikes will need a form of ID so they can receive appropriate punishment. That ID is to be a visible registration number. This is being discussed by Grant Shapps at the department of Transport. Doubtless to give his tory acolytes something to cheer.
The Guardian think it's worth noting as well. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...-for-cyclists-on-table-in-review-of-road-laws
