Cyclists
I believe - and correct me if I'm wrong - that bicycles in Switzerland have to carry their equivalent of a tax disc? This means that a fee is paid, obv not as much as a car pays, but they pay their way nonetheless. Seems fair; roads are maintained for the good of all users, after all. And to the argument that 'ah but (pedal) bikes don't spew out poisonous fumes' - you ever tried travelling 60 miles in an hour on a bike? Or moving a wardrobe? Or getting a weeks' shopping for a family home? Quite. Everything has its' place and consequent cost.

As for a three yard cycle lane, sure you don't mean three feet? Three yards is almost the width of one lane....(while three yarrs as I originally misspelled it is a delighted pirate.)

Someone lower down got it right; if everyone stopped acting like a fucking tool on the road, we'd all do a lot better and life would be nicer.

But while we're on the cyclist tip, here's what pisses me off: people with £x00 bikes with gears and whizzy bits and go faster stuff and that....doing 4mph on an A road that's not wide enough or is too bendy to pass on safely. C'mon, I'm not squeezing past you and knocking you into a hedge, at least get up a decent speed, that's what the gears are for after all!

Also; motorcyclists popping wheelies on the A327. Stop it, firstly it's v dangerous (you can't see ahead properly and your control is undeniably limited) and secondly it's the equivalent of the Lotus Penis Extension driver actually getting his cock out - it's pitiful.

I need more tea.
