perhaps a tax on cyclists might ease the burden a little. they have enough money spent on cycle lanes everywhere. they may not pollute but this is, as always, a money earner. looking at things globally the uk is responsible only for 1% of worldwide emmisions. china/ india / usa knocking up 75% globally. other countries dont give a damn either . best look around for a moped simon, you might get away with that for a while ... seems we will all be milked dry eventually....
