    You don’t need to pass a test or read the road law books to buy a bicycle. It’s not a motor vehicle. Therefore it is not bound by motor law.

        Why? Common sense. On flat land, in a town, speed of: Person ~<4mph. Bicycle ~<14mph. Motor vehicles ~30mph+. Bicycles sharing lanes with cars is stupid and causes dissent and death. Bicycles sharing lanes with pedestrians causes way less death. Government should stay out of it if they’re going to mandate endangerment, which is what has happened in many areas.

        Why do I not consent or conform to governments’ decision to tell cyclists to use the road? Because it’s a stupid fucking decision.
