      Cyclist use roads for which they pay nothing, neither for the tarmacing, the markings, nor even the cycye lanes where they exist. I am a keen cyclist and a small tax and insurance seems fair though anything that discourages cycling would be a bad move.

        Not if they stick to the cycle lanes, the idiots who cycle on the pavements should be prosecuted though.

          Me too Dennis, if cyclists stick to the rules there should be no problems and then no need for insurance.
