Congratulations. You've entirely misunderstood how science works.

Enjoy!

There's a Pigeon Pie chart?! Mmmm.....

I know where you're coming from, but disagree. It hurts, makes you feel sick and questions your love of the sport, but for every cheat caught there's a kid somewhere who didn't get the contract.

Nobody "pays to use the roads" - VED is charged to keep a vehicle with specific CO2 emissions on the road.

Why? VED is based on the CO2 emissions of the vehicle. As others have already stated this doesn't take into account the actual emissions, which only come from the amount the vehicle is driven. There's already government manipulation of fuel price for users they consider to be of national...

Get him this: Then don't give it to him - make him EARN it!

Which is best to keep him riding, and to grow his love for cycling? Do that.

I fail to see the dilemma. Obviously:

It's not YOUR road space - it's everyone's.

How many crashes are caused by people going too slowly? Maybe there's a very good reason for driving at that speed that you're unaware of (poor visibility, bad road conditions, vehicle limitations, vulnerable road users, etc).

Or time for drivers to take responsibility for their actions, not risk other people's lives to save 5 seconds of their journey and drive to the conditions?

I haven't attributed blame at all, but I defy you to end up under a car without it driving over you (whoever was at fault). All I said is that it is better for vehicles not to drive over people than it is for people to have to wear protective items 'just in case'. I assume you don't wear a...

"However, Castle defended this position, saying: "It is good safety advice; look at the lady who had that VW pulled off her in Spitalfields, she said she would be dead if it weren't for her wearing a crash helmet." Read more at...

Any chance the Met can focus on the problem of dangerous driving that's actually killing people, rather than being the fashion police? Or is that out of their remit now? FFS!!!!

Why is your journey more important than someone else's life?

Some bits are great, others are designed to kill - and do. Bow Roundabout and Aldgate (where the laughably named Cycle Superhighway 2 runs) are known to be dangerous, and these safety issues were highlighted during the design process by LCC, but ignored. Most of the time, in most places it's...

This isn't preventing uninsured drivers taking to the road though - it's simply catching them when they do and are unlucky enough to be near a police car. Many people (1.2m nationwide) think it's worth the risk as the penalty for being caught is clearly not a deterrent.

Training and licenses haven't stopped drivers crashing into things. If you want to do cycle training then it's available through your local council: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/11689.aspx
