Cycling laws to be overhauled.

[Deleted member 26715]

Bad drivers should banned from walking, for balance you know.

Off with their legs

Drivers who commit crimes against cyclists should be made to walk a mile in a cyclist's shoes......preferably SPD SLs

I ain't got a problem with it - people that behave like twots should be dealt with accordingly, regardless of their mode of transport. Just because some other sector of society may also be a naughty now and again is no reason not to do it - that's the school playground level of logic.

It isn't even logic.

It is not a fallacy if it can be shown the attempt to modify laws relating to cycling is really used as a distraction, rather than part of a general attempt to improve road safety, which may be what some fear. If government decide to clamp down on cycling offences, are they doing it out of safety concerns, or to appeal to the Daily Mail type voters? The former motivation is good, the latter is dreadful.

Aren't most pavements so lumpy that "high speed" cycling would result in an embarrassing hospital visit to have the saddle extracted?

You wouldn't be able to cycle on the pavements around here, they're full of cars.

Have to admit to cycling on a pavement on Sunday; the exit from a country park car park has a concrete drainage depression across it that is impossible to cycle over on anything that is not a MTB. On the way in a grate provides a route pass it. The country park provides a useful link between two roads that are otherwise about four times further apart and with much up and down.
