Others also took aim at the calls for road tax payments, saying: “A Cyclist on a £100 Halfords bike pays exactly the same in ‘road tax’ as someone driving a £30,000 Nissan Leaf or an £80,000 Tesla.”
There were some defences of the tweet, with one person asking: “Can we have mandatory speed limiters on cars too?
“They exist on electric bikes and scooters, so it’s hardly a question of the technology not being adequate for the task.”
This comes as many people have called on cyclists to pay insurance and a form of tax following a video posted by broadcaster Jeremy Vine.
