im always careful of cyclists as i used to bike to work at 630 in the morning and the amount of times irrate drivers nearly knocked me down while rushing to work was unbelievable!! ::) ::)
im so glad i dont have to do that now.i was 19 at the time and skint,couldnt afford a car doin a crap landscaping job for just above min wage. ::)i dont miss them days!! ;D ;D ;D
IMO WE SHOULD ALL HAVE A BIT MORE CONSIDERATION FOR CYCLISTS APART FROM THE LYCRA WEARING TYPE RIDING TWO ABREAST WITH THEIR RIDICULOUS GEAR ON!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

hate cyclists who use the pavement

Hate cyclists full stop >:(
If they were taxed, insured and mot'd like I have to be to use the roads I'd have a bit more respect for them.
Even stopping at a red light would be a start!!!
I'd love to see one go through a red light and get mullerd by an oncoming lorry; that would make my day; apart from disrupting the poor lorry driver's day of course ;D

We need someone to put the cyclists` view forward.
You know, like a spokesperson.

To do it professionally he would have to wear the right gear and I suppose he could fork out a few quid and have his statement made into a leaflet and peddle that. If he sold enough he wouldn't be saddled with too much debt. It might stem the tide of antipathy towards cyclists if he made a wheely good job of it.
I hope I haven't made light of the subject; but on reflection I might have done. I'd better put a brake on this line of thought before I get barred.

Well, after wtiting a post about hating cyclists and having my post labelled total rubbish I have had a rethink. I have thought long and hard about my comments and to be honest with the poster who remarked on my post .......................
................................ I still hate blo&%y cyclists >:(
Why are they allowed to run red lights????
Why aren't they insured to use the road????
If they scrape along the side of my insured van how do I claim off them????
If they buggar off I can hardly give the police their number plate can I.
No, I still definately hate cyclists ;D

Nowt wrong with you hating cyclists but being "mullered by an oncoming lorry" is talking rubbish. Either that or there`s something wrong with you.
-
they dont worry about things like that ::) they just bump up on the path ;D ;D

the idea has a certain appeal for me
im just going out to buy wider wing mirrors ;D
-
Make them pay road tax before they are allowed to moan. ;D
Otherwise knock em off whenever you can, there will be a lot less of the buggers on the road then!
it will be sweet revenge for the window cleaners! >:(

I knew I wasn't alone ;D ;D ;D

I had a golf convertible drive very close to me when I was out cycling on my roadbike in Bristol and the passenger threw a half empty tin of coke at me as he went past. It bounced off my foot but the shock nearly had me off.
The idiot looked back and grinned like an ape and stuck up his middle finger as the driver sped a way leaving me shaken and fuming.
Imagine his concern when he got held up at some roadworks traffic lights a mile ahead and he sees me closing at a steady 20 mph.
Big mouth boy is now staring straight ahead pretending I'm not there when I pull alongside for a "chat". I'm sure he was refreshed as I emptied my water bottle all over him and asked if he'd like to do anything about it.
If any of you decide to take me out while I am out cycling - and I do obey the laws of the road - like the brave boys you are when you are in a tonne of metal then please do a good job of it because although I am a very peaceful guy the red mist comes down when people use their vehicles like weapons.

;D ;D
