Agreed,

as for tax, it would be almost impossible with all the bikes there are already,

how do we think they would do it?

The green lobby would stop them I imagine. It would be wrong headed. Only way you would get charged is if they brought in some sort of road charging scheme but even then that seems a bit far fetched. I think cycling is prob quite safe from extra taxes for time being

Could be a good idea. Except you have to think of the majority of riders who would constitute the people backing this guy. That would be the noddies and lycra clad. Not us. So I don't know if this community would benefit at all.

Wouldn't a minister for transport include cycling anyway?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
