License disks for bicycles will not solve any real issues for bicycles. Too small for cameras, Need close physical contact to obtain details...

 

It will only create an administrative nightmare for authorities, AND for cyclists. It will be a financial obligation on the poor who can already not afford cars/taxis/whatever and need to rely on bicycles. It won't change attitudes either

 

Problem is attitudes. We need to change that and that starts with (y)ourself. As per the Ghandi "Be the change that you want to see in the world", or some such...

 

More laws are not the solution, it merely creates criminals out of ordinary people.

Tick for each point....Nuff said.

 

 

Ride a bicycle for a month, yeah right, have you seen some of our politicians!!

 

 

Yeah....well they could suck wheel in peleton of body gaurds with blue lights

 

The thing is people who have spent some time cycling will tend to show respect towards other cyclists, like in europe where most people have ridden a bike at some stage because its part of life here using a bike for transport

Hey maybe the govermunt could supplement the water supply with a some chill pill type medication, you know like they do / want to do with flouride?

 

That might curb the aggressive behaviour that takes effect once people get onto the road

But first they need to provide clean water in all town/municipal areas ;)

 

EDIT: No help to drink dirty water with St Johns Wort in

It is attitudes like this (me, me, me) that results in minority groups being marginalized. Two very common responses regarding this topic is 'I did not harm you' and 'how many cyclist got killed running red lights'. Well my friend you are very lucky indeed but it is NOT about YOU. It is about the perception created with other road users, it is about promoting this type of behavior among all road users, it is about maintaining credibility when it is needed. Everybody knows we are not talking about a back road at 5 am on a Sunday in Springbok. We are talking about the blatant disregard in front of other road users just because I can and because I won't get killed. Stop thinking about yourself, think about the response (that you help breed) from the driver who just killed your child on his way to school. Think about the fact that the next person that follows your lead, of making up rules based on how you feel, and makes a judgement error (not everybody is as clever as you) and kills somebody, or gets killed. Extract head from ass and THINK about others for a minute, even if it is just your own family.

 

Don't worry, I am thinking about my family. And generally preventing the orgy of death on our roads. I thought that was clear in my follow-up post.

Is it just me or is there a lot of MTB to Roadie hate going on in here??? When i see the personal pics i see only guys standing with MTB doing a lot of the moaning !! Guys come on now are we gonna be like little bit%^&S all the time. I ride on both diciplines maybe, should i start to complaining about slow MTB riders on the SIngle track who need to get a fine for holding up the faster guys so they need a number plate to???? It's a new year could we please get over the CRAP!!! Rather post a petition to the fact that the driver who killed Burry is off at the moment with a WARNING!!!
