What are you really getting at?

Is it really to do with insurance, cyclists don't cause enough to make it worthwhile or paying road tax, it doesn't exist. If you want to say you dislike cyclists, just say it. Point out cyclists being an inconvenience, sometimes it's true, but let's not pretend they're as dangerous as cars. It's not just false equivalence, it's stupid.
