Just curious- why???????

Because, there is more to life than cycling, we all probably arrived here because we are cyclists, but other topics keep the place interesting, you don't have to read them if not to your liking.

That’s me told then.

Oi!!! Who you calling a "Cycle Path???"

I wouldn't call anybody anything, though I might suggest that some have cyclepathic tendencies

Because life is political, and cycling is part of life.

And because cycling raises questions about climate change, prioritisation of scarce resources and the transfer of risk, all of which are political.

To the fair, Boris is a cyclist, and Corblimey would often be seen riding a childs bike while wearing a badly fitting WWII ARP helmet, so there's a lot of crossover between the two topics. Hell, chris Greyling loves cyclists and would regularly door them in order to get close enough for a friendly chat.

No, life is simple- politics complicates it.

No, life is simple- politics complicates it.

No politicians are simple, life reflects this.

Can’t disagree with that!!

It just seems so divisive- passion, strongly opposing views and the overwhelming need for some people to be right all the time creates a melting pot where “healthy debates” turn into full blown arguments and rarely anything good comes out of it.

No, life is simple- politics complicates it.

On the other hand it also gives us fripperies like commerce, law and public services. Without which, I'll admit, life would be a lot simpler. But also a lot uglier, less fun, and shorter.

It gives an opportunity for those who can’t hack it on politics forms without getting their stupid opinions shot down by better-informed posters, to feel good about themselves.
