You can add the 20 mile an hour Speed limit to that, why are cycles exempt..
I also struggle when these people say, "for fitness" yet most are over weight, slow and most the time are pairly putting the effort in. I've been behind people doing 30mph and had no roller with them. If you are blodding along, get out the way.
Sports Cyclists in clusters and during the rush hour (s) these are ones that make me seethe especially when they are on a ‘time trial’ which means that nothing matters, other road users, just so they can beat their ‘time target’.
If you dont want to pay road tax or insurance then dont drive a car lol
1. Road tax is emissions based – electric cars don’t pay
2. Many cyclists are insured
3. Cyclists are required to follow the Highway Code and aren’t exempt despite your anecdotal experiences
