Thomas Hamilton killec 16 children and a teacher with a gun. I don't recall anyone doing anything similar with a bike.

What this seems to boil down to, SPB, is a poor choice of words. We seem to agree on many things, including politics and the fact that some cyclists are idiots. I admire your passion when it comes to politics but in this case you have spoiled your case by letting a heartfelt but ridiculous argument affect your credibility.

There is no logic whatdover in saying that cycling MUST (your caps) be made illegal. Come up with something sensible instead. I can start you off with making sure that bikes have a visible registration mark, like cars, so that the owner can be traced when caught breaking the law on camera.
