It really isn't. "We have the balance of power so you need to pass law X if you want us to vote for law Y"

So its unreasonable to ask that people who take bikes onto the road are both safe to use(eg have reflectors, brakes that work) and also have some sort of insurance like other vehicles on the road?

I care when I encounter people on bikes ether very late at night or very early in the morning when I'm on the way to work and they are not far left enough and/or also not wearing clothing that actually reflects my headlights, the only saving grace is a little blinking red light to let me notice they are there or said bike thinking it would be a good idea to make a right hand turn just round a corner with no indication that he was going to do so, I also care that I have to share the road with people who have not had any testing done to prove that they know what road rules apply to them when they take their particular mode of transport on to the roads.

Your not going to win over the majority of people on the roads if your going to keep rocking that attitude

Pretty much all of this applies to pedestrians (if not more - people walking don't need flashing lights) and I doubt you'd complain so hard about them.

You should be complaining that we hardly have any seperated bike lanes, or any bike infrastructure at all. That's a far bigger safety issue than anything you mentioned.

So Andrew Shitposter goes down to the store to by a bike helmet and some milk.

He walks up to Jane Cash Register Slave and asks why everything is so expensive

She talks about communism for a second and Andrew gives up and shops at Amazon instead

Jane is now unemployed and has to go the Jacob Job Service Provider and work on a Strawberry farm for free for Randy Farmer instead.

What do you do?

I have 3 offices, 2 that are 40km from home and 1 that is 70km.

all three are near train stations.

currently its on average 1hr 15min drive to each office from my house in the morning and evening.

google maps tells me it is 2hr 47min to cycle directly to my main office, 2hrs to cycle to second office and 4hrs to the third office.

if I throw in public transport the travel time for each office is 3 hours.


Sometimes I even have to visit all three in the same day!
