    Bikes are not traffic. They are pedestrians with wheels, and therefore should not be subjected to the same rules and taxes as cars. After all, zero pollution, zero road damage, and if a car and bike collide, its more often than not, the fault of the car driver. If there were more cycle lanes in Dover, more people might take up cycling, but at the moment its just too dangerous. We are not allowed to cycle in the town centre, but have to take our chances with the Townwall Street and York Street lorries.

    Have you seen Dover's contribution to cycle lanes on Castle Hill? They only exist where the road is too narrow for a car and a bicycle, namely beside the traffic islands. And I can only imagine that they exist there to make the insurance claim easier for a dead cyclists next-of-kin to sue a car or lorry driver - otherwise, they are totally pointless.

    The DDC pay lip service to the idea of cycle lanes but in reality, it's a farce
