    Number plate and insurance may be coming for U.K. bike riders

    My GT aggressor expert 2021




    A British government minister has been given the task of endorsing and creating plans to introduce number plates and insurance for all bike riders.

    Surely this can’t be happening?

    Freedom isn’t free, nor is a bankrupt socialist system. Pick the better one and pay up.

    The idea is flawed, how can an insurance company gauge what experience and safety history a bike rider has to give an insurance quote?
    A cross the board charge for all would be better, the insurance scam is just to put a name and address on the bike rider, I’m against this red tape.

    It will make insurance companies froth at the mouth at this prospective financial windfall they (will) might be getting.

    Petrol cars will soon be obsolete. Most of us can't afford those EVs, so bicycles it is for us! Sounds like UK is prepared and getting ready.

    Better remember where you parked!

    There is an interesting side note to using bicycles for commuting that I saw firsthand while working in China. Let's say your commute to work now, with an auto, is 30 minutes. How long is that commute on a bicycle? With your morning coffee or tea, can you make it that long without a potty stop? I saw a whole lotta Chinamen using those landscape bushes along the road to block the view. Talk about a public hazard!

    In this dystopian future, how long until individual people will be required to wear an identifying number on their clothes to even be permitted to walk around outside?

    GIVE THEM TIME!

    Soon one will have to take a written and riding test, and pay the fee for that!
