As most of them do not carry a warning device (although they are supposed to) just imagine some poor old dear (me, for instance!) suddenly having a bike come up behind the old bod and whizz past on the footpath. It's enough to cause an accident, an apoplexy - and who pays any expenses related to this if it happens, cyclists are not insured. Is that the next thing planned - that cyclists have to be insured?

It doesn't matter love, just re-read the whole of this carp, it started with a similar post, no-one and nothing has changed except...
