I'm in two minds about it. Sure they are bloody annoying especially the ones with black bikes and clothing and no lights but on the other hand it would be a shame if the last free form of transport were to disappear.

Talking about insurance, does anyone else think that if cyclists are gonna play with the big boys on the road, shouldn't they have insurance as well?
Bearing in mind they continue to dangerously jump red lights, undertake lorries and buses, and generally throw caution to the wind on a daily basis!

Don't get me started on pedestrians and joggers, and what is it with bloody unicycles? Seen a guy a few times on my way to work on one, riding along the pavement, makesĀ " normal" cyclists look safe.
