Cyclists can't win

DM headlines that Cyclists are anti-social, elite and reckless. I agree to an extent. I wish they would respect pedestrians and share. There should be a law that Cyclists can share pavements but have to give way to pedestrians. On the roads I'm terrified of motorists. They are in an a steel box,  cyclists are mere soft flesh.

I daren't ride on the roads. We need separate cycle lanes and zones. Next day DM headlines a cyclist killed by a bus, bet she was being careful.
Another cyclist killed. It's dangerous on our roads. The only sensible realistic solution is separate cycleways. If shared with pedestrians then there must be a RULE giving pedestrians priority.

Are electric cars cheaper? (to run)

Yes - I'd like an electric car and save hundreds on diesel. What is the Government going to do when they have no revenue from Oil? Yes - you've guessed it - charge per mile for using the roads! Mark my words.

If you only commute a few miles, (less then 20 each way) would be nice if your employer provided charging points. Sounds like a good (environmentally friendly) way to go. By the way, is an electric car environmentally friendly, I mean if it was made of wood perhaps. What about all the nasties in the plastic, and batteries?

Where does the electricity come from, if you've got solar panels - fine - oh, but you're at work all day, its dark at night when you're home, DOH!

Sorry  - this doesn't add up.
