    Sure, why not
    Anything to get people out of their cars and onto bikes is a good idea

    You haven't lived till you've cycled 20k uphill into a horizontal rain generating headwind

    Cycling in the rain is beyond miserable.

    Not getting wet on your commute is a myth.

    Rule 1: Those that refer to people as 'lad' are uneducated inbred peasants on the dole. Apparently.

    They do !! Anyone paying PRSI does.

    If you're talking about motor tax, well thats only for people who have a motor in their transport of choice.

    There's always one

    It's a tax calculated on the engine of the vehicle. Bicycles don't have an engine.

    There are a myriad of other reasons not to tax cycling but that's probably the easiest one for you to understand

    Well if they don’t pay road tax, and don’t have an engine, they should keep out of the fast lane.

    Electric bikes alleviate the pain of cycling. You still pedal (a bit), but wind and hills are a myth.

    I was on the m50 northbound the other day, and a chap passed me on a Colnago in the outside lane.
    Full skin suit, must have been doing 70mph, and not even in the drops.
    Fcuker probably didnt even pay his toll.

    Brilliant idea. Just what we need. A bunch of pissed cyclists on the road. And I bet they will still take zero responsibility if they have an accident.

    It is always somebody elses fault.
