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

No, the future will be a cross between Soylent Green and Children Of Men.

Owning a firearm, freedom of speech, smoking, freedom to physically discipline your child, hunting, freedom to protest in front of parliament.

All banned fairly recently with absolutely no consideration of any negative economic or social consequences they might have.

Why, when the government will remove the freedom of millions of people without a second thought, does anyone think for a minute that an unpopular and dangerous activity undertaken by a small group of (mostly) hairy arsed bikers isn't up for the proverbial chop? I'm I being paranoid, or am I right to find it extremely worrying that a group of well educated people could be so naive?

Time for a quote: "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

the future is mad max thunderdome bring on barter town lol

IF biking was banned it would be banned in this country, maybe in the EU. This means if they ban it the government would loose yet another souce of income tax (from the decent members of society moving away). Eventually society will crumble and they will be begging us all to come back and ride!

They're doing their best to tax everyone out of using fossil fuels anyway so I'd say that's possible with todays bureaucrats

They won't legislate it out directly but they'll make it so hard in the end that it'll dwindle to a very small number and then it'll be easier to wipe it out completely. Until then we really ought to be riding the things as much as possible. It may be that they change their views on road and traffic policy in that time, but at the current rate I can't see it going any other way.

I think I'll be past caring by then unless they do one based on a Zimmer frame

If they start to slowly increase the number of restrictions in power and maximum speed, I won't care cos in 30 years I'll probably only be able to get me leg over a Harley Davidson anyway.

Out of interest, would you move abroad if biking were banned in the UK?
Yes, if I didn't adopt my earlier suggestion first.
Where would you go?
Probably Spain.
If the ban was across the whole of the EU where would you go?
America. They seem to have a slightly better concept of personal freedom than us.

if they banned biking, id still ride and they would have to catch me, if they restricted everyones bike.. id still ride unrestricted and they would have to catch me.. if they banned biking all together.. same as above except id be expecting a refund from the dvla for my tests, a refund for my roadtax ( back dated )
