But alas cyclists contribute bugger all to the roads. A bit of education for you: Yes they do, they pay council tax, councils are responsible for the local roads. Car tax is a tax on *cars*, it is NOT a road tax. Many cyclists drive cars and pay car tax. As I do.

I do pay a bridge toll though, but I don't think that counts as a tax.

You pay road tax on each vehicle. And of course there's fuel duty....

But the increased Road Tax on larger vehicles means the Guvmint revenue hasn't decreased.
