Ouch!A friend was once given a biopsy by a sleep-deprived junior doctor.
They needed a sample of his colon, so inserted the long bendy jaws-on-the-end thingy, located the suspect area and... he shot through the ceiling. Doctor had forgotten to administer any anaesthetic.
What was your ouchiest moment?

No no - its about choice - choose to do something, pay more:Motorists pay extra beyond their council tax (VED or whatever) because they want to motor (fair enough) and thus use the roads more heavily.
Cyclists should pay extra beyond their council tax (VED/CED whatever you want to call it) because they want to cycle and thus use the roads more heavily.

But by the same logic, so should an individual walking through a pedestrianised zone.A moot point, but the bulk of my cycling is offroad on towpaths and bridleways, which are maintained by councils and private landowners.
Given that I share these byways with ramblers and horseriders, does that mean that ramblers and horseriders should pay a levy too?

You're entitled to your opinionbut it seems to be borne more out of spite than logic.

Not spiteful, though I will own cyclists - as evinced in this thread - do tend to think they're above the law, which is fucking annoying.I just don't think this pedestrian/road-goer hybrid should exist any longer. I think the delineation should be much, much clearer - as it is for cars - and the rules enforced likewise.
