Many cyclists also own cars (as I do) and also pay income tax, council tax, VAT etc.

As you probably know, road tax is not put into a special fund for the roads.

Cyclists also don't wear roads out or pollute the air.

Nobody is more keen a driver than I am, but in all honesty there is very little that can be said against cycling as a planet and people-friendly form of exercise and transport.

It 's like me criticising non-smokers....I can't.
