Ok before you reply I cycle as well.

When I cycle I stick to cycle lanes as I feel they are safer than riding on the road, from reading the reply’s on PHs a lot of the arguments are that they are crap/full of rubbish.

Now there’s also loads of people on here saying that cyclists should pay road tax as paying road tax on a car does not mean you can apply this to your push bike or any other vehicle (we all know road vehicles have to be taxed individually)

Now what would you say to a cycle tax say £10to20 a year, this money is then used directly to clean/improve cycle lanes and also provide other facilities for cyclists.

As I said I cycle and would not moan about paying this (I also pay over £200 car tax) you may say that car tax should be paying for this already but it doesn’t and never will.

It could be policed by having a tax disk with your name/address inserted into a bright yellow arm band(change color each year), you put it on before cycling, You only pay once no matter how many bikes you have. Yes they can be faked but like everything else you run the risk of getting caught.



p.s please read the original post before makeing a stupid comments.
