I AM increasingly getting fed up of whingeing cyclists and their constant moaning about other road users.
I have witnessed them riding through red lights. going up oneway streets the wrong way, being nearly knocked over on a pedestrian crossing, riding on pavements, the list goes on and on.
If they think they have a God-given right to be on the roads, have cycle paths and bike lanes, then I think they should pay road tax and insurance like the rest of us road users.
Then when they scratch my car with their handlebars I can get it repaired at their cost, not mine.

Note: Vehicle excise tax (commonly known as 'road tax') is a tax on the emissions of a vehicle and not a levy on the right to use the road system.
