Yes, but, toy boat owners pay Canal Tax so rules don't apply to them. Oh I see ... I am sure Mr Angry will tell you he pays fuel duty and why not, those toy boats get about 5MPG, Concorde got 17, making toy boats the worst polluters on the planet. Wow! A Boeing 787 gets about 124. Pasta contains 1.5 million calories per tonne So a lorry carrying 40 tonnes of pasta contains 60 million calories at 4mpg. That is 15 million MPG/Calorie Cycling uses 50Calories per mile. Therefore cyclists average 300 000 MPG. |

Do many drivers speed past pedestrians on that narrow tow-path? I don't know. Why do you ask? |

You seem to have forgotten the accusations made by the pedestrian against cyclists. He is there on the spot. I am not. I assume that you are not on the spot either. Of the three of us, which is the most likely to have an accurate picture of the behaviour of cyclists there? |
