It's too hard for the pollies, and the judiciary, etc. They are not going to risk losing votes or changing the laws trying to solve a problem which is going to solve itself anyway in time. You and I and all the other cyclists are going to get the last laugh if we wait long enough - and it's not as far off as you may think. The western world is losing the race in the energy grab. This brief moment in history when we all had personal transport is about to end forever. Electric cars will not solve it - they just shift the enrgy problem somewhere else.

One day soon the yobs and slobs will have to get on their bikes to go to the shop to buy their **** - and the roadside will be littered with their carcasses.
