    How many 15 year olds have ID anyway?

    Quite a few, but not for the purposes of proving they are under 16.

    LOL fairly true. Often hear kids discussing these IDs and what they saw in the clubs

    I'm under 16. I might look over 40 but I'm definitely under 16. It's all the cigs and beach holidays - ages you terribly :lol:

    And what about the 1000 odd visitors who come over for the End2End challenge every year. Will they each need a licence too? Sounds like a sure fire way to kill off that event and its tourist revenue.

    Apparently not.

    I have got a copy of the proposed regulations, and in there, it states:
    4 Application

    (1) These Regulations apply to every pedal cycle other than –

    (a) a pedal cycle so constructed that the pedals act on any wheel or on the axle of any wheel without the interposition of any gearing or chain;

    (b) a pedal cycle which –

    (i) has been brought temporarily into the Island,

    (ii) is being ridden by a person resident outside the Island, and

    (iii) complies with article 26 of the International Convention on Road Traffic signed at Geneva on 19th September 1949 as amended; and

    © a competition bicycle.

    Is this the excuse some of us need to treat ourselves to a "competition" bicycle, whatever that may be. Racer? Mountainbike?
