The contributing to global warming one is a new one to me and pretty compelling as well.

Yes.. that's one I'd not thought of

I have a similar theory about carbon emissions. I wonder if overall emissions from vehicles would be less if we had less cyclists on the road with queues of traffic stretched out behind them unable to overtake.. all of which would have been home sooner with their engines switched off had the cyclists not been there doing their 'green and healthy' bit causing mobile road blocks in the first place?

All the best Nige

Like it Dave. Logic there somewhere

Ah yes but the only reason the motorists are stuck behind the cyclist is all the other motorists coming the other way stopping them overtaking.

That may well be true but the fact still remains

Put bluntly.. cyclists should be banned from highways

And 18 tonners want motorists banned.

where am I going with this..

No Dave, cyclists may be problematic, but easily dealt with... Caravans, we should be able to buy guided rockets to remove their kind from the earth.

I'm sorry to have to repeat this, but having read the above:
I can't stand intolerance!

Indeed Mike and it's worth noting that the cyclist problem is not as bad as it's made out to be. As I've said Millions of times, don't exaggerate!!

And from pavements

Our local policeman, ...., whoops, sorry! Delete that. Patrols an area from Esher to Weybridge, mostly on foot. I questioned him about the problem of cyclists using the footpaths, and he told me that he ignores them. He feels that they are more of a problem on the roads, and are safer on the paths. A strange logic in that.

The weekend cyclists who dress like Bradley Wiggins, and pedal furiously along dreaming of a Gold Medal, are the most infuriating road users in my opinion. Overtake them if you dare. Or if you can!

ps. Sorry. What's that got to do with clocks going back?

It has about as much to do with the clocks going back as the clocks going back contributing to global warming

Oh.. I think farm vehicles should also be banned between the hours of say.. midnight to 6am No.. Edit that.. they should only be allowed on the roads between midnight and 6am
