Motorists do not pay directly for the roads. Roads are paid for via general and local taxation. In 1926, Winston Churchill started the process to abolish road tax. It was finally culled in 1937

@MegaDyneSystemsExe i dont agreee with forcing adults to wear helmets, but a helmet saved my life when i was in a crash. even with the helmet, i was life-flighted to the hospital and kept there for 3 days in and out of consciousness. if it wasn't for that helmet, i wouldnt be here writing this comment. i dont care if i look like a jackass. i REALLY look like a jackass with brain damage

@zazenzach I can see that with running, but with biking it's bad for your knees as well?

cyclist should pay road tax

@210482fmj actually the main problem with cycling is the failure of the bicycle helmet industry to design a helmet that doesn't make you look like a jackass. It's so bad that when certain countries began legislating and enforcing adults to wear helmets, ridership declined... check out cyclehelmets . org

What you described as a flat footed or bad non agility pedal stroke is in fact the most powerful way to pedal sitting down and you will see all professional cyclists using it. This pedal stroke enables you to spin the crank much more efficiently than "spring boarding" off the pedal which will wear you out during a race. It is important to train the lower legs and the hip flexers because they will improve your ability, but you still need to be pedaling like a cyclist.

i spend more time pedaling whilst standing rather than seated now. THats the main problem with cycling at the moment is the seating is still very uncomfortable and has friction issues for you skin on ur thighs. ths is one issue they really need to come up with a cure. its a problem. my reccomendation is never remain seated for long periods when cyling and always altenrate between standing and seating. i never remian seated for long periods

@brandiclay

its basic physics actually. that weight on your ankle is gonna require your knee to exert more effort to stop it. and if your running real fast then you might accidently jerk your calfs too far and hurt your knee

google ankle weight dangers and/or medical science journal ankle weights

doctors 100% agree that its a horrible idea
