What on earth makes you think that the money from the tolls will be spent on such a thing? Is that some official policy - or just wishful thinking? -- Many cyclists are proving the need for registration by their contempt for the Highway Code and laws. The answer: All cyclists over 16 to take compulsory test, have compulsory insurance, and be registered. Registration number to be clearly visible on the back of mandatory hi-viz vest. Habitual law breakers' cycles confiscated and crushed. (With thanks to KeithT for the idea)

Just the cycling scums opinion that they shouldn't ever have to pay for anything. -- Q. Why don't they put pockets in lycra cycling shorts? A. Because cyclists never put their hands in their pockets.

Bwhahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha yeh right, get us to pay for your lunch as well? It looks like the second distinguishign characteristic of a cyclist, after the fervent use of "tu quoque" is the hand permanently out in the begging position. Tax cyclists and there'll soon be plenty of money to spend on the amenities you want.

So tax avoidance would be to stop cycling, get fatter, and end up costing the NHS �����s?
