A brief examination of the stance of UKIP is all any cyclist would need to know to establish them as the anti-cycling party. The last time they had an official manifesto – 2010 – the sections relating to cycling were framed in the traditional language used by people who hate cyclists, focusing on “aggressive abuse of red lights” and lack of road courtesy. The document goes on to recommend the introduction of liability insurance for cyclists to cover “damage to cars and others”, the mandatory carrying of a “Cycledisc” ID to deter “dangerous cyclist behaviour”, and increased powers for local authorities to enforce a “cyclists dismount” or “no cycling” regulation on busy junctions or bus lanes or “where the road would be too narrowed by cycle lanes and cause unacceptable delays to traffic”.
