When cycling I always disply my helmet prominently. I want everyone to know I take safety seriously.

No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

Education. Car drivers already have to have lessons and a test (although you wouldn't believe it in a lot of cases) but cyclists don't so maybe: Bikeability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia should be mandatory. When I was at school we all had to do the Cycle Proficiency Test and I've still got my badge and certificate to prove it. I also believe that cyclists should have insurance of some form like all other road users. In Germany most people have a personal insurance (Rechtsschutzversicherung) so that if you do have an accident of some form, whether cyclist or pedestrian and its your fault then costs are covered. For example, most people here know that you shouldn't cross the road when the red man is showing and if you do and get hit by a car then you are liable and this is where this insurance comes into play (its also against the law and if caught you'll get fined!) The majority of cyclists here do tend to follow the rules and those that don't, then they get caught and fined and they'll also get points on their driving licenses (if they don't have one, then they're still registered just in case.)“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I did not see that episode. I assume they got no funding?Comment
