Will biking be legislated out of existence in the next 30 years?

Ban them and you leave people little choice but to run anonymous, unplated black 200mph missiles that can outrun police choppers. A very bad idea IMO.

I dunno, the Mad Max part of me likes that idea!

I hope not. I'll only just be getting the hang of it.

I think the new test laws could put a lot of people off and Im certain that we'll see less numbers come next october, particularly of born agains.

Im very scared to say it but i would probably be one of them...
no one is taking biking away from me, law or no law!
so those pen pushers who think that biking is dangerous or that all bikers are crazy can kiss my ***
i chose wether to go fast or slow, i choose to race around tracks... and i'll choose to break a law which breaches my human rights

other than that i am very law abiding lol,

Sadly, I envisage a future in a world after fossil fuel where most people run small (smart car size) electrical cars that are powered by nuclear power. I'm not saying it's a good idea, but I think it's most likely. On the plus sidel, we know most predictions about the future are wildly wrong and that's when they come from a genius, never mind a clueless dolt like me.

I said no because in the time frame mentioned we'll be past the point where fossil fuels will be available to the man in the street. I think we'll all be walking by then. If the resource wars haven't killed most of us that is.

And if Razor is wrong about our supplies running out I see a highly regulated and automated road system where you will need a special vehicle just to be allowed to travel at all.Surveillance and speed limiting will rule and no one will want to do anything as individual as ride a motorbike.It will be ever so safe though,so that will be all right then.

I'm also the death rate will plummit and a wonderful new age where everyone lives for ever will dawn. At least, until the people who can no longer use their bikes as a release valve for the stresses of living in the nanny state GO POSTAL AS A RESULT!

That'd be awesome.
