- Jeremy has never been renowned for his love of cyclists and in our recent chat with him, he had plenty to say about them. Ferociously expensive cycle lanes, sweaty armpits and even their impact on the environment - it's fair to say he didn't hold back.

POV: you’ve taken your dad to a cafe and asked how his food is
Then u should pay attention to him . If you do have one tough which i am honestly unconvinced about.
🇳🇴
🤣🤣🤣
Not gonna lie, if my father and I went to a cafe and this is our topic, it would be fun.
First he'd complain about how much I paid for the coffee and bagel in relation to its taste (after a sip and a bite) and how cheaper and better food is in our hometown.
That's why in India we have the same lane for Cycle, bikes, cars, trucks, cows and walking.
Fast and light cows ?
@@jscab7140 we have space cows as well
😂😂😂😂😂😂
They all share one lane? Jesus
Fantastic--well said.
Jeremy is becoming the old man sitting on a porch yelling about the modern world

"Old man yells at Cloud" ~Abe Simpson on newspaper headline
at least he still has hair. im 24 looking like a native american claimed my scalp as a war trophy
Modern?
In fairness any one who drives for a living hates road cyclists.
I like how he pointed out some completely random biker and assumed the guy makes no contribution to society at all.
Well, he's a cyclist.
Bikers produce plenty. Mostly ice.
Be Honest with yourself.
Dude is in cycle gear around the middle of the day, and biking around town
Bruh.

Great stuff, never change Mr. Clarkson.
So he's not saying that cycling is bad, what he's saying is that tearing down trees to make bicycle lane is bad... I agree...
As a cyclist, I agree. I also think that bad planned cycle lanes are worst than no cycle lanes at all.
Hassaan Khalid Dont you think, that trees are taken down for parking?! Bike lanes help reducing short cartrips and thereby reducing pollution...nothing bad about that.
@@fnjfrancis I see what you mean, but one error do not justify the other.
Both cycle lanes and parkings shouldn't mess with the trees.
DO NOT FUCK WITH THE TREES :c
@@fnjfrancis Literally nothing you mentioned is true
Cyclying only ruins cities and their envirement
There are no positives
Cyclist are and always will be the cancer of the world that has and never will contribute anything to society
@@boltmix7294 In copenhagen, where I live, 500.000 takes their bicycle to work every day. That is 500.000 less car trips in the city...resulting in less pollution and less traffic-jams.
I think the problem is London's city planners, not cycling lol
dumb title
You are wrong. Cyclists is a huge problem these entitled pigs think they own the road and certainly do not follow the law.... Especially these racing cyclists bunch of muppets
Ya think??
Yeah, also pretty sure it costs more cut down trees to build motorways and roads compared to a thin bicycle lane
Nope it’s the cyclists... they need to F off
"You have to eat food to cycle, so it's bad for the environment."
You have to produce gasoline to drive cars. And you still eat food.
When broken down to kilometers travelled, using cars fueled by gasoline is less environmentally taxing than using your own body fueled by food. What part of this is hard to accept?
@@horvathbenedek3596 so are all cars having a lower carbon footprint then all cyclists? or is food we eat having a bigger carbon footprint while being produced? because im not able to understand how a car is more ecologically better than a cycle
@@horvathbenedek3596 Jesus Christ dude, you have to be trolling.
@@horvathbenedek3596 Source? That's the dumbest thing I've heard and I just watched a video of Jeremy Clarkson speaking.
Yeah and gasoline just comes naturally from under the gas stations. You don't have to transport it from middle east and russia with bonus side effect of supporting inhumane petrcraties

@@kenworkman3964 be funny when your global warming turns out to be a natural occurring ice age which we are due.
not many guys would admit they are wankers i respect that
Dude your bike destroys the roads
Truth teller, we want you!
One thing Jeremy didn't mention, is that pulling down those trees would actually increase temperatures on that street by about eleven degrees C, so that's more ambulance deployments to people with heatstroke.
so let us leave the trees. just get rid of the cars. Problem solved and the street becomes even more beautiful.
@@MusikCassette That doesn't work either... People need to commute and will never chose public transport, that doesn't from their suburb/village all the way to their place of work directly. You need to create a dense network of places, where you can legally park cars for free, then you can impose sizable fines for parking on the streets. But it won't work one without the other. If you only impose fines, people, who park there regularly will simply consider it as a cost of running their business, whatever it may be, and attempt to reflect that in their demanded wage/prices and all you'll achieve is creating inflation... Having these parking network paid for will have similar effects. Only building these parking places doesn't incentivize people to park there and move a bit on foot either... Only by creating penalty and acceptable alternative will you solve this.
@@looseycanon "You need to create a dense network of places" quite the opposite: If you insist on bringing 2 tonnes of metal into the city center, you should pay a premium for all the inconvenience you cause.
"all you'll achieve is creating inflation." y would that be?
also y are we talking about parking?
@@looseycanon no just no, if we banned all cars the demand for public transport (and cycling) would increase. and then there would be plenty of space for more buses, trams...
@@looseycanonyou are an ignorant idiot
"You need more food to keep up cycling"
...so... is your argument that exercise is bad for the environment?
his argument is tearing down trees to make a cycle lane they won't need because private cars are going to be banned in london by the same group deciding to tear down trees is bad for the environment.
Strictly speaking, you do exhale CO2, the best you can do for the environment is to breathe less, and therefore evade activities, which make you breathe more, like exercise... Now, the effect of something like this is minuscule, when compared other sources of CO2, but it is a contributing factor.
No, the real problem is this. We only keep about 3% more energy now due to all the greenhouse gasses, than before industrial revolution. It would literally be easier and cheaper to increase cloud cover somewhere over the ocean, so that we would cover 3% more of Earth's surface and stabilize the climate. Remember, it's not the CO2, that is the problem here, the problem is, we don't know how to extract that extra energy from our atmosphere and either utilize it, store it or radiate it back in to space. And that is what's actually causing global warming.
The guy doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. This is not how food consumption and exercise work. Your digestive system does not work like a fuel tank. It is entirely possible to add exercise to your daily routine without eating more. also, he's using arguments against cycling that are way more relevant to his precious cars.
What's crazy is that HE IS OVERWEIGHT and complaining about more food consumption among cyclists! He needs to stop eating so much before he can tell others to do so.
@@comet.x Nobody is ever banning private cars and you know it, so it's just a hypocritical strawman argument. I laugh at him pretending to care about those trees as his ideal world of pollution kills millions of them.

I miss him talking on tog gear
I hate swares
London is a dense flat city perfect for biking, If biking was safe and convenient enough it would reduce car congestion which could allow for even faster ambulances. If you look at a city like Amsterdam they have the best bike baths, but also really efficient car traffic. I don't agree with banning private cars, or the government money laundering, but owning your own car drastically heightens your carbon footprint and more people biking directly reduces traffic congestion for your ambulance.
cArBoN fOoTpRiNt
yeah guess who started that phrase? BP. British Petroleum.
Stop caring about the pathetic amount of emissions you emit and start caring about the insanely huge amount of emissions actual polluters emitt.
Yeah except "your carbon footprint" is a marketing campaign by BP in the 90s and 70% of pollution worldwide comes from industry. If literally everyone in the world started eating sustainable food, wearing sustainable clothes, using sustainable transport and recycling like a saint tomorrow, not a single problem would be solved. So don't give me that. The only boot print you should be worried about is on your face and there's nothing carbon about it.
then get a motorbike also perhapse realise amsterdam is very flat compaired to a lot of places
Ever see London weather?
@@comet.x Based
Interesting points he made. I did some math regarding CO2 emissions by eating. According so some numbers I found somewhere, cycling burns about 20 kcal/km. Gathering some more numbers I found somewhere that the average consumption per person per day is around 3500 kcal and the CO2 emissions from food about 1100 kg/year, so that would mean 0.86 g CO2/kcal, or 17g/km. Even if you double that to have some safety margin, that's still a lot better than combustion cars with over 100g/km.
So then no need to go vegan or vegetarian right?
@@JuanRanklin Going vegan is a cancer, it literally harms men, soy and other such products are suspected or already confirmed to harm men, since they at the very least reduce the testoterone that men produce. But that's info that's not talked about, how convinient, who would've thought that on a society where men are being openly being discriminated against, such things would've happen.
Also "Average CO2 consumption from food" will also include things like meat, which is notoriously bad for the environment. I am sure you can drastically reduce reduce the CO2 emissions from food by choosing wisely what food to buy.
Sure, a vegan cyclist may have less CO2 emission than a normal cyclist. I went with averages because I'd assume people would just scale up their normal consumption instead of eating specifically to offset the calories used to cycle. You could also say that cyclists should eat a teaspoon of sugar per km, which would be a lot better in terms of CO2. But I don't think that would be a realistic assumption.
Add in the fuel it takes to transport that extra food needed to fuel the cyclists and the emissions from cows and pigs needed extra to feed the cyclists and then add on the extra emissions from cars having to travel at slower speeds for a longer time way below the speed limit and you would probably find it actually contributes to global warming just as much. So the only way to make it have less impact is to ruduce emissions from cars in the first place using electric cars. Problem with that is that will just increase energy usage for electricity dramatically and untill we Can make sure that all eclectic consumption comes from renewable sources then its still contributing to global warming. Another thing is then you jave to take into account the contribution to global warming when making these electric cars the battery and how long they last. The only way to make the efficient when it comes to global warming is to make them as long lasting as possible so new cars wont have to ba made over and over again in such large number but they wont they will make the batterys last a minimum of say 5 years maybe 10 and then they will need to be replaced as this is the most beneficial when it comes economically due to other things not needing to be replaced in a typical engine. No car company is thinking about the environment when making electric cars thay are thinking profit. And theres will stop if they are not using electric cars when new legislation comes stating that all new cars have to be electric. So why would they want there cars to be problem free for such a large amount of time. No one would need to buy a new car. So the only way around this is to make them to brake withing a certain time which is most likely foing to be either the moter or the batterys.
He's like the guy at the pub who starts talking to you.

Is this a The Simpsons reference?
Here in the US there are hardly any bike lanes and my entire neighborhood feels like a humid industrial zone because there are no sidewalks and there are cars everywhere and the trees have been cut down so there’s only small ones left. Everyone has a car but if you don’t then it does feel like you’re trapped.
leveling more area for more car lanes is just as bad as leveling more area for bike lanes
@@comet.x bike lanes are significantly smaller, you’re kidding?
@@wendig00n you do realize they're just adding bike lanes next to the car lanes right?
doesn't matter if it's smaller or wider. they're adding it on
That’s everywhere in the US. The United States built it’s mode of transit around cities for cars and trains. They didn’t foresee people walking or biking from town to town or across the city. Plus European countries are obviously older so they tend to have more walking and biking areas over cars.
Clearly you haven’t been to Minneapolis, MN. Over the last decade they added bike lanes everywhere to “solve traffic issues”.
Of course they wasted millions, created more traffic issues by eliminating car lanes, and all for a few riders who only use it at most 5 months out of the year since the snow and sub-freezing temperatures the rest of the way make it impossible to bike.
Saying nobody cycles because nobody wants to when there's no decent bicycle lane is like saying "there's no need for a bridge, do you see any people swimming across the river bare hands?"
*points at public transport* “can’t go on one of these or you’ll get a disease” well that aged well 😂

Yes because coronavirus is the only disease that exists
@@REVO515 same
That doesnt even need to be sarcastic cause its true😂
Having cycled in, around, under, and over London for 40 years, I agree with him about the trees. I can't imagine a single cyclist wanting any of those trees cut down for a bike lane.
I treasure mother nature. I cycled to work in Paris which is way better than the metro (tube) and I can't imagine someone cutting trees for me to cycle ! Blasphemy !!
It's not the cyclists who want the trees cut down - it's Sadiq Khan. The cyclists would rather the road was simply closed to all motor traffic.
Agreed
Agreed, they should take some car lanes instead
Perhaps if people reduce their depend on automobiles then cycle lanes won't be necessary at all
Dude's doctor told him to cycle more. That's why he is so grumpy.
🤣👍
He’s so right, I’m killing the environment by eating an extra snack after my cycling commute. I should definitely go back to driving my 1.5 ton mobile carbon monoxide factory that definitely required fewer emissions to manufacture than an avocado through an hour of traffic everyday. How genius!
Well, flying in out-of-season fruit and vegetables does have a significant carbon footprint. Not that eating them does.
@@thomasp506 You think every fruit is shipped in invidually on a single boat?

I agree why remove a tree line when you can replace a traffic line with a bike path.
But don't you agree that so many of his arguments are just plain flatly wrong. It's like sophism produced in chain here.
He seriously thinks that not producing a 1.5 ton car and all the petrol consumption and delivery that come with it less environmentally friendly than a 500 calories per day superior need that can be FULLFILED OTHERWISE than by importing avocados, etc, by plane, OBVIOUSLY.

Re runs of top gear uncensored
To counter his points, A. Exercise increasing calorie intake (which I'd contend needs cited research) is about where we get our calories (namely beef) and it's impact on the environment. B. The biggest issue are cars themselves, not just the fact they're inefficient transportation, but because the infrastructure is extremely costly and impactful on the environment.

More or less stating the obvious:
Smart use of cycle lanes is how you save the environment. A worst case argument is where you have to remove trees and make roads more congessed by restricting traffic flow.
Obvious statements like "bikes for short distance and long distance" or the like are contributing as most people I think can agree unless they are staunchly against/for cycle lanes. Though having better and cleaner public transport in my opinion is still no.1 on the list imo.
some of the things he says are so absurd, it's hard to take it seriously

Exactly what i was thinking
Not necessary. I am assuming you are referring to the "cutting trees to put cycling lines" bit (not to the ambulance being stuck in traffic). According to my rough calculations (rough because I took carbon consumption of an average tree from Google), it would take 60 trees a year to consume the same amount of carbon I would produce by going to work in my car (not a Humvee mind you) for a week. If cutting 60 trees would make at least one person go to work by bicycle it might be worth the trade. Of course, cutting trees is not an optimal solution, but not necessary a bad one.

Harry Johnson Thats actually amazing :)
F i i N Y X We’re not all virgins buddy
1:40 do the same thing but in a place like Amsterdam where it is designed around, pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport.
When you actually design it to properly work like it is there, it will cause less people to drive, and driving becomes more efficient.
Because then, the only people who will drive are the ones that want to, and those who have to. And the amount that have to will decrease because of the other better options.
I Love driving and I love cycling. What camp should I be in?
driving, you look less of a clot being in a car than being on a bike.
Cutting down trees to build a cycling lane is the stupidest thing I've ever heard!
That’s not even true. Clarkson speaking complete bollocks
Seb Stefan ok I’ll come to your house
Yup, we in the cycling community think so too. Plus, you can always build one that goes around it...
L Wesley it’s true
I don't think this is true!
The guy in the yellow vest keeps walking by thinking "Is that Clarkson?"
Do black people in England care who Jeremy is?
@@GHound420 Why wouldn't they ?
Woogie Harrelson what does black have to do with anything??
The yellow vested gentleman was an AA man and I'm sure would recognise Clarkson.
Dan Smith your a little white kid don’t be saying that shit
I got a bike ad before this
alternativelly, remove the car lanes, so you can keep bikes and trees
Was expecting James May to roll up on a bicycle and Clarkson shouting FACK OFF!!!
That is actually such a James May thing to do.
I was thinking that folding bike was May's
Then Jeremy would push him over and May would just yell: “CLARKSON”
Was the bike lane blocking the ambulance? Or was it all of the other cars?
First responders in my city actually support bike lanes because unlike cars bikes get out of the way.
A bicycle's performance is extraordinarily efficient. In terms of the amount of energy a person must expend to travel a given distance, cycling is calculated to be the most efficient self-powered means of transportation.[1] In terms of the ratio of cargo weight a bicycle can carry to total weight, it is also the most efficient means of cargo transportation.
And if you use electric bikes you don't use any extra food calories but far less mechanical energy than a 100 stone car overall.
We all know the solution to this is to take a car lane and turn it into a bike lane
Exactly.
Not everyone has a job where it’s ok to show up all sweaty with stinking armpits. It’s more of a sports gear than a mode of transport really.
@@Begbietheradge Then let those people who can cycle with proper infrastructures. Getting more ppl to cycle means clearing the road for people who really needs to use it
@@Begbietheradge You don't get sweaty if you cycle normally...? only if you try and go really fast... or if you are just fat and have a bad condition. Here in the Netherlands everyone goes with bikes, and I have never seen anyone sweating from using it normally
@floppa floppovich Have you ever seen a traffic jam of bikes? I haven't, and i think that's because bikes need like 10 times less space. Also, I would like to be able to move around rather than sit in the same position for a long time, but you probably have annother opinion on that
The most beautiful street in London .. the one that says 'You are now leaving London'
Haha classic
Its where the ' sleepers 😎' live
G Walker London is a shit hole
@@lil_nut2232 you apparently know nothing. Where do you live? You ever been to belsize park or Hampstead? Probably not you fucking Muppet.
Oliver’s life is shit
Are any of the wheels quick release?
Maybe it's a bot deleting comments with links? Well, okay. I believe I recognise the article he's talking about. The article is titled "What's the carbon footprint of ... cycling a mile?" Said article goes on to then say the following:
"Is cycling a carbon-friendly thing to do? Emphatically yes! Powered by biscuits, bananas or breakfast cereal, the bike is nearly 10 times more carbon-efficient than the most efficient of petrol cars."
Imagine walking down the street and seeing Jeremy having a cuppa
46Dixey hello my fellow 46
It's a green screen
Not that amazing. You see dog shit on the street all the time.
cuppa what
You stare at him and he says to fuck off.
Clarkson for prime minister
Thats not as crazy it sounds. If some one told me that Borris Johnson would be PM after his appearance on Top Gear I would of called that person a loon.
Clarkson for Emperor of the Earth
@@falcongamer5867 All hail the emperor!
Well, it would be an improvment over the one in office now. That however is a very low bar to clear.
OMG I was just about to make exactly the same comment. Lets get married lol
Clarkson is a legend.....
I’m a cyclist and I find this absolutely hilarious. Clarkson is the man! He’s half joking, and you have to get his sarcastic humor to appreciate him.
This man has one hell of a skill. The ability to complain, and make it entertaining. I could listen to it all day.
They made the series. It was called Grumpy Old Men
F**k Off!
Loved his rant about airports in the grand tour!
I cycle every day 30 minutes to work and still totally agree with Jeremy...it's just insane to knock down trees who needed tens of years to grow and to spend £ 42 Mio. on a bicycle lane!!!
But still disagree with the title of the video. Thumbnail title...
Same here. I cycle religiously, but these cycle lanes have to be well thought of and planned. Dont just go with a lazy solution as to cut down trees to make way for it.
@@deanbrickland Thank You!
@@deanbrickland Better for businesses when only a few boneheads on bicycles can visit them?............excellent idea!
@@deanbrickland remove the cars?
Ambulances, taxis have you heard of them?
You mean that if I don't ride a bike, I don't have to eat anymore? That will save so much money. Thanks!
This just sounded like a lot of pessimistic cynical noise. most if not All the points made are wrong or kind of correct with the caveat that the ideas to move toward more walkable/bike-able living areas just need to be implemented differently. just because it's being implemented incorrectly doesn't make it wrong. Plus there is a difference between causation and correlation. For example, the congestion he mentioned would most likely still have been there without a bike lane. Many studies show that wider roads don't help much with widening roads to reduce congestions.
This. Thanks to induced demand, more lanes can even INCREASE congestion.
@@dreamcanvas5321 meanwhile, induced demand for bikes sounds absolutely amazing. More induced demand for carbon neutral transportation combined with free exercise? Yes please!
I find it surprising that Jeremy can sit out side a pub anywhere without getting harassed.
Well, it is London, people are anti social here xD
Pretty sure a bunch of people did...but he told them to F*ck off
This is England.
@@chrisbuxton1958 L
Why do i feel it's a green scrern
the funny side of Clarkson, which I love, is that he mingles together true facts, half truths, half lies, and plain false statements that are just funny to listen to. He has been doing this for 40 years. And then he leaves people arguing about all of these, because nobody can't obviously agree on everything he said, and therefore, because of laziness you either reject everything or embrace everything he says, and in the end you are left with total chaos. Chaotic Neutral at its best.
you just described populism
@@Obi-WanKannabis which is essentially the artistic medium of politicians and entertainers. How they apply it may differ slightly, but it is their stock in trade.
It’s funny until it becomes boring. I don’t miss Trump who was the same.
The comment I want to write after the video was like: Is this guy a comedian or the situation in Britain is that bad?
@@Sandyhendry And hopefully Clarkson stays funny.
There’s nothing he said with which a reasonable person could possibly disagree-all the more so because he said it all with THAT ACCENT!
Here's one Jeremy, you can eat if you cycle but if you're in a car, you're not allowed to eat, the car has done that for you, so every time you get in your car and travel to work you're not eating anything, soon shift those extra pounds and that smug look!
As someone's already pointed out, this could be a great series... THINGS THAT CAN EFF OFF, BY JC
OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUDS
Let's be honest... It would be an absolute success
Jesus Christ?
And I’m here to watch every thing one of them. 😃
episode 1 - MPs'
Cycling isn’t bad for the environment, knocking down trees for no reason most definitely is.
this sums up my views perfectly.
TitaniDrakon according to jeremy it is. also with the extra food u might eat cows which r bad for the embironment
aluminum mining, refining, manufacturing, fuck even the shipping negates any positives 1000 fold if not more.
@@jonnie2bad Thats what people forget. It just appears in a shop as if by magic with no consequence to nature.
@@jonnie2bad Yes, but a bicycle requires far less materials than a car, which contains far more rare earth metals and materials for its wiring, computers, shell, chassis and batteries to name a few. I wonder really, how may bicycles can you build out of the materials it takes to build 1 car and have than shipped around the world, which is going to happen since the EU's free trade with Japan has meant Japan is shifting a lot of its manufacturing back to Japan!
Have you ever seen 5 bicycles release toxic waste in the atmosphere?
During construction of the bikes, the bike lane and the pink nylon cycle shorts it does release toxic waste into the athmosphere.
How many trees were pulled down for your thousands of acres of parking lots?
I think I’m seeing a pattern emerging here: Drivetribe is basically Jeremy telling various people to f##k off. Very refreshing and on that basis I have just subscribed.
should be a hotline where you state your name and he tells you to fuck off, that might brighten your day, if that's how you get off or fuck off or whatever
@@heisenberg1338 You missed the entire point of what @MrArchie800 said so f##k off.
As have we all, he belongs on the Muppet show with the 2 old farts moaning on and on and on and....
Seconded.
Jeremy is to cycles like Ramsay is to dodgy chefs
Even though I am a cyclist, you are right. Please leave the trees!!
exactly. too much traffic is bad, but cutting trees is worse.
@@ElvenMans Short term, maybe, depends how many people use it. Long term, no, if people cycle instead of using a car, less oil has to be used, so less "co2" is pumped out of the ground. Those trees will die and will probably end up as fuel for a power plant, maybe they serve a few years as furniture, but in the end it is very likely the co2 ends up back in the atmosphere. The co2 that stayed in the ground cause less cars were required stays there, so yes it might actually be better to take them down if the only thing you care about is co2 emmisions. That they have more value than that is clear, kinda nice to have a green city, but in terms of CO2, your argument is a bit problematic.
super tomorrow honestly idk how it is in Europe, but here in the US, bicyclists are legally pedestrians (pedestrians can’t be in the street) but they’re also “licenseless drivers” meaning they have rights to the road. So basically these absolute retards use this legal ambiguity to give themselves the full road to themselves. Where I live, bicyclists purposefully ride in the street to slow down traffic. And it’s intentional. They want people to get mad and yell at them. Then they file complaints with the police for HaRRAsSmEnT. Of course, you can’t report the bicyclists for being retards who ride in the middle of traffic, because they don’t have license plates. It would be awfully nice to have decent bicyclists like yourself here.
@@jadoei13 not as problematic as your reply. You think power plants run on trees?
Pretty much the only thing I agree in this video.
The video barely is about cycling it's more about cycle lane construction
Jeremy's views hold a lot of valid points - I'd like to highlight one other in this debate. If cyclists wish to use the public highway & tarmac they should pay! Like other forms of transport do. Mandatory number plates for cycle dealerships/shops. And mandatory cycle tests. This way I believe when you hit a cyclist you can just exchange details and leave the scrap push bike on the kerb!! or the (scrap bike lane) when it's announced.
I believe the average car possibly weighs 1750 kg. @ 30mph- I'm not sure about the average cycle weight but I'm aware cyclists like to purchase bikes that are lighter than a sparrows poo... ?? Is this something to consider on impact??
@Daniel Lawson danielle morning - i was referring to registration fees, roadworthiness test fees, number plate fees, these are all a form of taxation for the government bank account - If you need a yearly licence to own a television or fishing rod why shouldn't you need a annual licence to own a cycle? Level 2 or level 3 training is a one-off payment of £20 for life!
I think cyclists should pay more tax for their chosen mode of transport. It's a grey area for the highway agency I'm sure the e-scooters will be copping government charge next year.
I’d rather ride my bike on a nice shaded road than a hot sunny bicycle lane.
I could listen to Clarkson telling things to eff off all day.
@TiggerLiveToo xDD
Definitely. In fact, the best show ever, James May sits around very carefully assembling some kind of gadget while Clarkson tells him to hurry and fuck off while hamster crashes very expensive cars.
Plot twist: That's Clarkson's bike chained to the post
@Michelle Green that's a joke. Chill mate
If you'd ever watched the news on Top Gear you'd know that Jeremey insists he has a bicycle.
Michelle Green r/wooosh
He wasn’t on about having a bike. He was on about having theses cycle lanes, and trees are being pulled down to have them go back to 0:14 and he will tell you
🤯
