    Cool, if they want cyclists to be treated like motorists then I'll happily stick a licence plate on my bike if that means I can cycle down the middle of the road like you would on a motorbike, rather than close to the curb. I'm sure all motorists would gladly drive at 13mph for 20 miles or so.

      Perhaps better to insist on more bike protected infrastructure

      @@RobBlazoff You don't get the genius of it. They force registration which reduces bike usage which then makes spending money on infrastructure an unwarranted cost.

      And any motorist in a slow moving vehicle worth one's salt would move over at often intervals to prevent traffic build up behind them.

      Er you shouldn’t be cycling close to the kerb, and taking the lane is often the most sensible option……

    what's next pay to walk? I remind you that the Council Tax in The UK is already paid for that includes cycling. Thanks anyway for your video.

      A license plate on the back and front of each shoe. Of course, you can't forget about the reflectors on the side as well.. And for the youngsters, a big L plate on top of a helmet.

    Here in Japan sure bike registration is apparently mandatory, but nothing happens if you don't register your bike. Two of my bikes are registered because I bought them at Japanese shops but my Canyon is an outlaw bike, I kinda like it that way.

    I'd be happy to pay a small annual tax if it meant greater legal protection and infrastructure. But it won't, and drivers will still try to kill us.

    Registration plates will protect cyclists and motorists.
    Protect cyclists by stopping them from contravening the HWC (notice not breaking the law, HWC is a guide and rule book, not a legal document)
    Protect motorists when cyclists cause damage and bugger off.

    I’m quite certain that a large percentage of cyclists can also drive hence are already paying road tax etc. Does that mean we’ll get a concession on our car tax if we also have to licence our bikes 🤔Also those lucky enough to have multiple bikes will definitely get stung 🐝

      Motorists pay Vehicle Excised Duty based on their vehicle emissions. Some cars pay £0 duty. Roads are funded through general taxation.
