<p>I think what it comes down to is that motors kill cyclists. I havent heard of a case where it’s the other way round</p>

<p>Cyclists should only be allowed on the road if they do not obstruct or delay motorists who pay to be on there. A cyclist should also have to take a road awareness test and wear full safety kit - they shouldn’t be cycling slowly up the lanes forcing buses to chug along at 10mph when they could move over. Yes it works both ways there are bad motorists and cyclists - but only one is paying to be there and following national speed minimum limits...</p>

<p>What needs hammering home is to give cyclists the same distance as if they were cars. Its cars passing too close that is the problem. But we really need cycle lanes everywhere. All very well using bus lanes except you have to keep passing stationary buses, which is highly risky!</p>

<p>as a cyclist for many years i've been knocked off twice by opening card doors. And i've had countless cases of intimidation by motorists if i choose to ride in a more central position in the road. i think anything that encourages more awareness of other road users is to be welcomed</p>
