Abolish the two abreast cycling rule

[GrumpyGregry]

Again no such thing as road tax.

No such thing as road tax? Really? When did that change? I must have missed the memo.

What do they say about 2 horses riding side by side ?

A Chariot?

Deadly serious. We have a few horses, and have ridden them out on the roads many times.

Some horses are more nervous of passing traffic than others, some riders are more nervousof passing traffic than others. My sister was on a horse 30 years ago whuch was struck by a heating oil lorry. It nearly cut the horse in half and died before a vet got there. My sister got away with her life, but was badly affected by it. The truck dtiver didn't start braking until after he had hit the horse

If a car can't pass because of oncoming cars in the opposite carriageway, then it's because there's too many bleeding cars, not because of the cyclist in primary.

Once had this discussion at work with our resident petrol head

For some reason "narrowing the road" with a bicycle is unacceptable, but when he narrows it even further by driving a wide 4x4 down it is OK
