Teachers at Stanley Park High, in Carshalton, are introducing the scheme so members of the public can report pupils cycling dangerously. The secondary school said the main aim was to keep children safe. Charity Cycling UK questioned why Stanley Park High "want to make cycling to school more difficult". On the school's website, head teacher Amit Amin wrote: "All students who cycle to school will be required to display a school-issued bicycle number plate when riding to and from school. "Students without a number plate will not be permitted to cycle to school, or lock their bicycles on school grounds." Mr Amin said the measure was in response to incidents of children cycling in a way that "endangers themselves and others". Ban children. They are annoying little ****bags, and the world would be a more peaceful place without them. Well, yes, except my grandsons are wonderful young men. Who ride bikes. Big kids are good for SOME things, like a draft. The commute with my son this morning was almost all above 30mph -- except when stopped or got jammed in traffic near my office. He hit the gas and gapped me in one place, and I practically hacked a lung getting back on -- along with some dope who was hanging on to my wheel. We picked him up while passing a flock of cyclists on the way into town. I podiumed again in the dopey commuter criterium!
