OPINION - London cyclists, stop snitching on car drivers and sort your own behaviour out first

I am an anti-cyclist cyclist. There, I’ve said it. The idea of jumping on a bike and burning through 80km of Surrey roads fills me with horror. Squeezing my lumpy love handles into figure-hugging Lycra… no one wants to see that. Droning on about tyre road resistance? Jog on, mate. What I dislike most is the cyclists who feel they own the road and pro-actively irritate drivers.

If I were mayor, all bikes would be registered and the equivalent of the driving test would be mandatory. Points and penalties for pedalling irresponsibly.
