Nicholas's argument

I strongly disagree bikes should be ridden on the road because there are obstacles that are on the road that may not be on the footpath.

Firstly it is dangerous to ride on the road because bikes have no rear vision mirrors so they can not see what is behind them so cars will drive right behind the cyclist and when the biker turns the car will keep going and crash into the back wheel making the biker loose control.

Secondly there are lots of obstacles on the road and if you are in the bike lane there could be a cone so you carefully go round it but a car might not see you and crash into you making you fall onto the road and the car will probably not stop so you have got a pretty high chance of being run over.

My last reason is that if you are young you will go biking but you will have to go on the road. Young people will not know about road rules so adults will have to teach them.This is dangerous because little kids might go into the middle of the road without their parents knowing and get run over.

I strongly disagree that cyclists should ride on the road.
