A recent article which stated everyone had the right to arrive at their destination safety, no matter how many wheels they are were using, has seen over 130 comments on social media.
Hereâs a selection of the comments regarding what people think about people riding their bikes on the roads.
Craig Scott: âI donât ride a bicycle. That being said they have every right to be on the road and should expect motorists to drive with due caution. No they shouldnât have to pay a fee or have insurance for using said roads. Yes there are wankers who ride bikes. Riding a bicycle is one of the last modes of transport where you DONâT have to pay a fee for travel, thank god. Yes they sometimes piss me off but thatâs my issue most of the time not theirs IMHO.â
