Are they compulsory? I doubt it.

I do like the "Share the Road" tag line on the plate though.

You can fit a numberplate to my bike when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Indeed. Not much use with a Carradice saddlebag and would obscure seatpost-mounted lights; wonderful!

[Ham]

Too many donuts and you could effectively obscure it, too. Mmmmm.

Ahhh it's them new magic number plates with the protective force field thingy.

It must be them, because the road safety guy says that they will make cyclists safer, raise awareness of cycling and get more people on two wheels.

I'm gonna get me one of those number plates so i'm properly protected on the road.

"A great novelty gift for every child" - that's because bicycles are only for children, yes?

As I've said before on here - I still have my Swiss numberplate somewhere,
having been  an upstanding law-abiding Swiss resident at one point.
And yes, I wouldn't dream of flushing the loo after 10pm. I'd rather let my bladder burst.
And the people who get the death penalty for mowing the lawn on Sunday - I think we all agree this is perfectly justified.
