On occasion, a lycra-apologist will make their way into a healthy one-sided discussion on the epidemic that are cyclists (see Rule 1). There are a few facts that act as kryptonite to them as they cannot argue with them, and they are;
- They don't pay road tax
- They don't have insurance
- They don't have number plates
Boom. Take that you Tour de France wannabe! If you don't have those, you can't use the road, FACT. Other facts may be available but you should road test these first. If you can imagine Big Daz or Super Baz nodding sagely down the pub when you say it, you are on the right lines.
The lycra-lout may try and dispute these facts with "facts" of their own. These are to be disregarded out of hand as something they have probably made up just to continue ruining our day both on the road and now on the online super-highway.
1. No one pays road tax. It is called vehicle excise duty and for my car is £0.00
ReplyDelete2. I have insurance as do many others, e.g. members of British Cycling
Cyclists have a right to use the road. Drivers must do it under license.
Boom yourself.
