Cycling

Pedal Power v horse power

Locally there has been a lot in the news about cycling on the road, whether abreast or single file, beeping horns, chopping up, common decency and what the law states etc.

All I have to comment on is the fact, having been a cyclist myself, (but who happened to take it for a walk more that pedal it, due to living in a very hilly county I hasten to add) is why; when at great expense to the tax paying public and drivers with properly taxed transportation and where cycle paths have been put in place, do they not use them?

The same question was added in the local news. I await the response, but not with bated breath!

Perhaps a road licence should be implemented for cyclists, a little more revenue for the empty coffers, or at least a fine for those that don't use the cycle paths where they have been provided.
