stumbled on this commons debate from 1968

i especially like point 1 😀
Although £20 for every mounted overtake would soon add up!
It goes downhill some what after point 1.
So we could've ridden on footpaths, but would have to jump off and run past any walker or rider of horse.
That'd work!
Useless! No wonder it got withdrawn!

We would have ended up as world power in cyclo cross. The Belgians would have been gutted.
yeah but i said i liked point 1, the rest is balls 😀 the MP for High Peak wasn't best pleased either.
Many country rights of way have stiles or even a kissing gate at the end of a path. What will happen there? How will people deal with a bicycle? Perhaps the hon. Lady will come in on this and tell us how one is to deal with a bicycle at a kissing gate, because there will surely be a certain amount of difficulty in surmounting that obstacle.§ Mrs. White We usually find a way.
Mrs.White was ahead of her time methinks.
"humping a bicycle over a style". LOL
Theres some pretty poor arguments in there. At the bottom somone argues it would be dangerous because a cyclist might leave his bicycle in a field and some cows might go over and take an interest in it. WTF?
It would have taken all the fun out of cheeky riding 😆
