I wonder how much space is taken up in Dutch manifestos for cyclists? Probably over half. Cycling may be gaining in popularity but apart from a bit of VAT, the government makes naff all from it so they basically sideline it.
A shame.0 -

You can promise all the lush singletrack in the world but you won't get my vote until you have a manly beard and killed a bear with your bare hands!
(Ok you would get my vote but the beard/bear slaying would seal the deal)0 -
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.
I ain't sticking no badge to my frames..Ukip believes off road dedicated lanes are preferable to a confusing maze of cycle lanes on unsuitable or dangerous roads, which is problematic for cyclists as well as other road users.
Off road commuting? Its nice in the summer.. not so great in the winter.We support provision of cycle parking at reasonable charges.

My manifesto
1. Bike to work scheme relaunched as cheap bikes for everyone (i.e. no VAT and you get the income tax back).
2. No VAT on anything cycle related, i.e. if you ride a bike you don't pay VAT on anything.
3. All footpaths become open to cyclists.
4. More money for trail centres, less money for chavs.
5. Armed security at trail centres (to sort out the pedestrians and motor bikes).
6. All red socks to be banned.
All I ask for in return is an MPs expense accountIt's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result0 -

And no horse riders allowed on any trail anywhere. Or dog walkers.0 -
OK no dog walkers, I'll put up with the horse riders though despite the mudfest they bring during the winter. Round where I am they're fairly friendly and have done quite alot to open up rights of way. Mary Townley, RIP.It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
