    If you are a grown up cyclist, don't ride on the pavement. Never disobey the lights when cycling. Please also wear safety gear. Don't try to overtake a large vehicle.

    Should be laws passed on people sporting mullets. 10 years solitary for cyclists with mullets.

    Yes. A persoñ is killed by someone with a mechanical vehicle. Also high powered e-bicycles should be treated the same as mopeds. Insurance, number plate, MOT, road tax. Some exceed the speed of mopeds and some are as heavily built.

    They already are! Speed pedelecs that have assistance over 15.5mph do require registration plate, license, and insurance

    The restiction of road widths for cycle lanes result in longer journeys for ambulances, construction vehicles and wide loads generally. Cyclists have involved the country in huge expenditure with no financial or other return and no acceptance of the rules of the highway. There is no way to trace cyclist offenders. House building is held back and currently precast and prefabricated units are way behind the times and Germany is an example to research.

    For a bit of context, 91 cyclist were killed in Britain in 2022 alone. If you were to take into account all deaths caused by motor vehicles you would realise this is a relatively small problem. The video mentions hundreds of pedestrians are injured but that is noting compared to the multiple thousands of cyclists that are seriously injured every year.

    It's pretty rare for a cyclist to kill a person so I would feel sorry for the poor soul who goes to prison for life for killing someone on a bike but I have a feeling they are trying to do this because of the new high powered Electric bikes that people are getting that can go 50 60 MPH and weigh half as much as I motorbike but I don't see how they could apply this to all bikes it would be pretty ridiculous.

    ​@@maskofsan1tyI think you would agree we would rather have a small low weight cyclist riding towards on a one way street than a 1.5t car or 40t tractor and trailer jam doesn't realise the difference of danger to life or injury by size and weight and logically apply those differences to appropriate punishments he just likes to hate people not like him and probably drives more dangerously than any cyclist rides but you can't reason with some people

    All road cyclists should be at least 17, and have passed a rules of the road test. The bikes should have number plates, insurance, tax, and a road worthy certificate. Bikes want the same equality on the road as cars. This is what equality means.

    How many drivers get life? Death by dangerous driving used to be 5 years..... It's very rare to hear about a driver going down for any long periods of time.... How many drivers bounce off each other every day some using phones, cooking, doing makeup..... Both sides are not innocent but drivers are far more arrogant and dangerous. Wonder why fire engines have all that cutting gear..... Oh yes to remove bodies from ncap safety cubes.

    So we have to pay road tax and insurance they pay nothing and put cars in danger because they get special treatment when the roads are for vehicles they can just do anything and cycle away !!! If they want to use the roads they have insurance road tax and a license plate they it’s fair !!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    They should need a licence, insurance, road tax and have a registration, just like drivers. They too can cause accidents. And motor bikes need these things!

    No. The punishment should reflect the level of risk to others of one's actions and a bike is massively less dangerous than a car.... it could kill someone but it's really really really unlikely to do so.
