Billy Roberts fascinating new book Spooky Liverpool is available for pre-order now on www.merseyshop.com
I am all for exercise to help us keep fit, and have nothing really against the odd cyclist cycling leisurely down a country lane. But, the lycra glad fanatics with their oddly shaped crash helmets, riding two and sometimes three a breast, and simply refusing to move over to allow traffic to pass by, absolutely DO MY HEAD IN!
If cyclists are going to continue to use the road the way they do, then why can't they pay a small road tax contribution? And what about insurance? If I accidentally knock them off their bike my insurance covers the cost. But what if they knock somebody over who pays the compensation then?
Also, can a cyclist be arrested for being drunk in charge of a cycle? Do they get banned with three penality points on their license? Whoops! I forgot, they don't have a license. Perhaps that should be a consideration?
