I am presently working in London for two weeks and I am finding that cyclists in the capital appear to be very aggressive and patently colour blind in the red spectrum as they tend not to stop at red lights.

Could we see the introduction of rickshaws for us older citizens in Birmingham whom might find actual peddling a bit too much now.

There must though come with the increased preponderance of cyclists the need for compulsory insurance of cyclists to cover any damage they may do to pedestrians.

Yes our streets and roads in most of the city are too narrow for bicycle lanes but what we can do now is build in cycle routes as the extension to the Metro is being built in the city and not after the Tarmac has been laid.

Though who will get priority in the pedestrianised parts of the city centre such as New Street when thousands of bicycles use it in the future.

Will we get as in London mass bike ride events that bring traffic to a halt on a Friday night?

As with the reserved lanes for car pooling by star city can we have tandem bicycle lanes as a priority?

I might invest in an electric bike.

We will maintain our inferiority complex if we perpetually turn everything into a competition that only we are taking part in.
