A vote for labour is a vote for cycling
Cambridge Cycling Campaign has sent out a set of questions, and the
responses are listed he http://www.camcycle.org.uk/elections/ Interesting that the responses from Labour candidates seem to be totally in favour of aiding and increasing cycle use (though their ability to spell is sometimes compromised), example quotes: "...am determined to lead an ambitious effort to expand the use of cycling both here in Cambridge and across the UK." and "The princle of giving people space to cycle is step one." and "...show people that cycling is a very viable option." |

A backward step. and "...show people that cycling is a very viable option." "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking and Cycling study.

UKIP on the other hand have some very sensible policies on cycling; 10.2 We believe that there needs to be a better balance of rights and responsibilities for pedal cyclists, with too much aggressive abuse of red lights, pedestrian crossings and a lack of basic safety and road courtesy. 10.6 UKIP would consult on the desirability of minimum third party liability insurance cover for cyclists - a simple annual flat rate registration ‘Cycledisc’, stuck to the bicycle frame, to cover damage to cars and others, which are currently unprotected. The Cycledisc should also carry clear identification details, which will help counter bicycle theft, and deter dangerous cyclist behaviour. We support provision of cycle parking at reasonable charges. 10.7 UKIP believes that basic cycle and safety training should be made mandatory, and be funded in schools or via local authorities. UKIP supports the campaign work of national cycling organisations. 10.9 Local authorities should be given additional powers to enforce a ‘cyclists dismount’ or ‘no cycling’ regulation where there are safety concerns – such as on busy roundabouts, junctions or bus lanes, or where the road would be too narrowed by cycle lanes and cause unacceptable delays to traffic -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Secondly there's these stupid quotes from your link: "Yet Orcutt’s main support for the tax comes from his belief that riding a bicycle is worse than driving a car for the environment." “A cyclists [sic] has an increased heart rate and respiration. That means that the act of riding a bike results in greater emissions of carbon dioxide from the rider. Since CO2 is deemed to be a greenhouse gas and a pollutant, bicyclists are actually polluting when they ride,” he said." |

"Some even feel that this could open the door to a carbon tax on breathing. A New York Times op-ed from 2007 said that “right now, everyone is using the atmosphere like a municipal dump, depositing carbon dioxide free,” also suggesting that the government should start charging for the “privilege” by imposing a carbon tax. |
