I think this would be a great idea would love to find other local people to cycle with |

Why not just post on a regular basis here on the forum? I am interested in meeting and riding together, I use the Camel Trail here in Cornwall on a regular basis so get in touch, there are side trails for mountain biking too and it connects through to lots of off road routes. |

Think of it like this .....
You need to leave about 1.5 metres between you and the cyclist as you pass them.
That almost always means you need to move over the centre markings to do that.
That means you can only pass when the other lane is clear.
That means it's okay for the cyclists to be filling up the lane, because you're going to use the other one anyway.
That means you might arrive 50 or 60 seconds later at the next set of traffic lights!
The cunt in the van is getting pissed off because they are a cunt. They probably shout at a lot at the telly too.
Just a thought. |

And anyway why should cyclists pay road tax when the bit of road they get to cycle on is rutted and full of potholes? |

"Get ready for someone to post, I'll do you don't touch my king car your nothing but nuisance and you should be paying road tax after trying to cut you up. "
Oh dear, do we have to educate another one of them.
There is no legal requirement for a cyclist to pay road tax, neither do you as it was abolished in the 1930's.
Road tax, or its correct name Vehicle Excise Duty (bit big for the BMW, Audi, Mercedes, 4x4, Van and golf drivers to understand). Is a duty placed on the emissions of your engine, a bicycle doesn't have an internal combustion engine, so doesn't need to pay road tax. Also from a legal viewpoint, the Road Traffic Act states, only motorised vehicles need to be taxed.
As for insurance. The road traffic act states again, only motorised vehicles have to have, the correct level of insurance cover. The hint is on the motorised bit.
Cyclists do pay for the upkeep of the roads, as that is taken from your council tax. |

There is no legal requirement for a cyclist to pay road tax, neither do you as it was abolished in the 1930's.
Road tax, or its correct name Vehicle Excise Duty (bit big for the BMW, Audi, Mercedes, 4x4, Van and golf drivers to understand). Is a duty placed on the emissions of your engine, a bicycle doesn't have an internal combustion engine, so doesn't need to pay road tax. Also from a legal viewpoint, the Road Traffic Act states, only motorised vehicles need to be taxed.
As for insurance. The road traffic act states again, only motorised vehicles have to have, the correct level of insurance cover. The hint is on the motorised bit.
Cyclists do pay for the upkeep of the roads, as that is taken from your council tax."
Exactly! Only emmision us cyclists make is the odd fart now and then! x |

"Get ready for someone to post, I'll do you don't touch my king car your nothing but nuisance and you should be paying road tax after trying to cut you up.
Oh dear, do we have to educate another one of them.

An exercise bike perhaps???
Or just man up, spend some money on some decent warm waterproof clothing and just keep cycling outside, it’s way nicer than being stuck inside |

Absolutely! With good clothing you can cycle in most weather...although not keen on ice! |

Used to commute in all weather's. Have had to ensure hail, snow, torrential rain and occasional sun. Loved it though and was always quicker than a car.
Niw it's WFH so back to social rides and dealing with vehicles that think roads are solely for them. Consideration needed from everyone and things would be better.
Anyway, can't beat a good ride in the countryside (ooeeerr mrs) |

Agree! It's less fun in wet weather but more fun than pedalling away like an oversized hamster indoors. |

I cycle to work and have an exercise cycle also, use exercise bike when I don’t cycle to work or at weekends if weather is poor, hate the wind. |

Great idea.
It could however grow arms and legs. Cycling although only requires 2 wheels encompasses so many variants. Mountain biking, roadies, gravel, touring, recreational to name a few.
But definitely keen to get involved and chat with like minded people. |
