    how far do you think you can get without putting petrol in your car, its funny watching motorists stuck in traffic and emptying their wallets to buy petrol as it is, will be even funnier when the car needs servicing and ends up costing more than a brand new bike. :rotfl:


    we just get receipts and claim it back.;)


    how much can you claim back for a puncture repair kit.;)


    do you still use your mums best spoons when you get a puncture.:rotfl:

    Personally I've found that cyclists using trailers or panniers seem to know what they are doing.



    if they knew what they where doing they would have got a car.;)

    Do you still have to phone someone else to come and help when you get a puncture?

    I never mentioned helmets, to which there is a lot more to lawfully riding a bike weather wearing a helmet or not.
    maybe you should learn to read a post for what it says, not what you assume it says.;)

    A cycling cape is sort of old fashioned nowadays aso most people wear some other sort of waterproofs instead seeing you brought the weather into it.

    yes that's right, as well as those that also don't do that.


    till you start paying it you have no legitimate say in the matter.;)

    But cyclists do pay, they pay taxes like anyone else and that is what pays for the roads. Road tax as you call it has nothing to do with it.
