Have listen.

Earlier today, BBC Radio Norfolk interviewed me about the case and I hope I gave a reasonable and reasoned rebuttal to the rather strange claims made by the call-in guests,
including Malcolm, who didn't half go off on one. The Malcolm-and-me segment can be heard at 2:07:

Giving it the title "should cyclists pay tax to use the roads" clearly aims the programme at the mong variety of driver who wont be interested in the rhetoric that we all know. Most of the media go with common knowledge rather than fact, these shows attempt to address the facts and interviewing someone who knows the facts is a blessing.

Regarding Emma Way, well could you imagine what she is would be like if she marry, s rich and gets a rangy? I have a strong inkling that she just thinks she is more important than everyone else as shown by her tweet about why she is late every day because of a car in front on her and further back tweeting about getting up earlier because she cant "keep doing this to my poor little car". Its inevitable she will kill or seriously injure someone but then will play the victim saying it wasnt her fault ect ect. I just hope its not me.

The host asks "is it time that cyclist did pay road tax?" - it's a totally pointless question because there is no such thing as "road tax", it is Vehicle Excise Duty and it's cost is based on CO2 emissions, therefore if cyclists were obliged to have a tax disc it, like other zero emissions vehicles, wouldn't cost anything. Of course, if cyclists were made to have a "tax disc" it would cost everyone money to administer.

Another common misconception is that roads were built for cars, whereas in reality, with the exception of motorways, which were built for cars and on which cyclists are not allowed, most roads pre-date cars by several centuries, sometimes millennia. The roads pre-existed and cars were allowed to use the roads that were previously there for pedestrians, horses and horse drawn vehicles.

"We" are not on "driver's" roads, "they" are on everyone else's.

Actually, it hasn't been vehicle excise duty for years. It became vehicle excise licence, and is now just vehicle licence.

What about all the zero road tax cars? Will they get lumped in with us cyclists because they haven't paid 'road tax'?

Don't forget VED is not applied to.... Police vehicles - Ambulances - Doctors official vehicles - Fire engines - Army vehicles - Milk floats.

The comments have, as usual, descended into referring to cyclists as 'they', I am not a they, or a car driver or a motorcyclist a horse rider or a pedestrian, I am a PERSON.

Even worse, an ex-racing cyclist is spouting the 'they should have licenses' nonsense. I've got a full license thank you, in fact I have two; one that entitles me to drive a car and another that allows me to ride a motorcycle.

When will these people actually tell the truth; I hate cyclist because they can get through traffic much faster than me.


Anyway, the suns out and I've just had a very nice hours ride around the country lanes. Time for some coffee and cake... erm I mean recovery food. :mrgreen:
