If that was the reason we should perhaps add the lack of insurance
by many bicyclists in the UK to the list of reasons to register
bikes in the UK?.

How often do we hear about civil cases against cyclists, in which
judgement is made against them and they are unable to pay?

About as often as one would expect even if you include those civil
cases where they can pay. The vast majority of civil cases go
completely unreported. It would also be a foolhardy claimant who
attempted to sue someone without ascertaining if they would be able to
pay costs and judgment awards before starting an action.


Or more succinctly - we rarely if ever hear of such a case. So why do
you appear to think that it's a problem? Is it an ongoing theme in
Solicitors Journal or whatever?

My thoughts are with the deceased dog's family and friends, and
sibling Toffee.


I hope the owners claim compo off the cyclist.

Did they get the cyclist's name and address?

They probably got a load of abuse and a smack in the mouth, they're in
their 70s after all.

Just think how much better it would be if the bike had a registration
plate, etc, etc, etc. (yawn) lol

now you get the idea, likely that a registered cyclist would also have
insurance to pay for the dog's funeral expenses etc. a registered
cyclist would have ridden with more care in the first place so the crash
might not have taken place at all. win-win all round


Bollox!

Do you have any evidence to suggest that the cyclist had no
insurance?



the chance is very low.

Indeed. I'm glad you acknowledge that the chance of the cyclist being
insured is therefore very high.

I recently discovered that the high chance of any given cyclist being
insured was a very significant factor in the Swiss federal government
abandoning the compulsory registration of bicycles.



ho ho, the chance that a cyclist in the UK is insured is very low.

Have you any evidence to support that U-turn in your belief?


There was no U-turn, but I must admit that my answer could have been
misread by a cyclist.
Do you think that any significant proportion of cyclists in the UK have
insurance ? Perhaps some figures from the dept for transport or any
surveys?

What an idiot you are!

As it happens I was walking my dog around the local woods today. There
were a number of cyclists sharing the same paths. Meg is just 5 months
old and curious about everything, including bicycles and cyclists.
Inevitably, as a curious pup, she ran up to the cyclists to see what
they were. Without exception the cyclists we met today were polite and
understanding towards Meg, stopping and patting her, and allowing her
to get used to their bikes.
