I just want to penalise them
there is no excuse for grown men to wear spandex in public and who in their right mind would put their child in one of those bike trailors anyway..? make the bastards carry their own weight.

'fraid
I'm with you.

Try driving through Richmond park on any weekend, there are millions of the verminous little buggers, riding 3 abreast and even when I patiently sit at 12 mph behind them, they turn round and glare at me as if to say 'Yes, you're waiting patiently, but I bet you're getting impatient, and I'm sure you are about to plough into me and kill me'.

Actually fuckface, I was deciding whether to have a pizza or chinese for lunch.

I fucking hate pack cyclists!
They drive me mental! YOU ARE NOT CARS! Stop talking about celery sticks and protein shakes and get the fuck over to the left. My car is bigger than you and I will plough through your little spandex pack effortlessly, laughing.

I do not...
Cycle in a pack or wear spandex/lycra...

Actually I am a careful cyclist and if I see a queue behind me, I pull off and let the traffic past and continue when there are no more pissed off drivers behind me.

I love my driving too but give plenty of time and space for cyclists...

but I love putting my foot down in the car and sometimes cyclists piss me off, especially when they cycle side by side and take up the whole road but then in contrast, I hate it when drivers don't give us the space on the road to cycle, pull out in front of us thinking we are cycling slowly (when in fact doing 30+) or drive stupidly close to the pavement so we can't pass safely...

Non-pack cyclists..
..are safe in my book. I always keep a wide berth of them whilst overtaking and when at lights keep enough distance from the curb for them to get past fine. It's mainly the ones (mainly packs) that don't get over into single file that fuck me off. If they did go into single file, there wouldn't be a problem.

You do know there is no such thing as road tax right?
You're confusing it with vehicle excise duty which is based on the level of emmisions your vehicle produces, which in a bikes case is nothing. So therefore no duty to pay.

Got it?

How about the associated manufacturing emmissions
bikes are not made out of grass

What relevance does that have?

It'll
be an irritation tax.

wrong
well known fact - cyclists are all vegetarian hippies, and fart constantly. Emissions are roughly the same as a Mercedes sprinter van.

^This^
There's nothing worse than a self righteous cyclist. Except perhaps garry glitter. But only just.
