Boycie Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Spandex clad stick insects riding razor blades everywhere. Enough about @David though, this is about the selfish cyclists that think the road is their own. Stop at a red light? Nah mate. Come on, let em have it!!

Inglorius Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Depends what your point of view is there are plenty of idiotic cyclists who think the rules of the road don't apply to them but by the same token there's also plenty of idiotic drivers that don't know how to behave properly around cyclists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Its those that insist on riding two abreast. Ok i know its allowed but when there is a bunch of you and you are going to do it leave a gap between each pair to allow a car to overtake. That said there are plenty of idiot motorists who think the best way to overtake slow moving vehicles, bikes. Tractors or whatever by getting as close to them as possible. Hey why not hsng back so you get a good view of the road plus allows acceleration to get by quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevin Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Tossers when there's a cycle track they still take up half the road they need to be careful cause I ain't bothered if they end up a mascot on my bonnet. On the other hand when I'm on my bike bloody motorist are so inconsiderate they need to be careful or they'll have a footprint on their door.

Gritstone Ram Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Cyclists should stick to tracks made for them or they should contribute to the up keep of the roads they cycle on. Like a cycle road tax. May be based upon how often they use the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Why is everyone in a rush to the point where 30 seconds behind a 2 wheeled bike angers them so much? Leave the house a little earlier and learn to share your tarmac toys. All this is my road, everyone out the way is a little weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are cyclists in such a rush it's a real rarity to ever see one stop at a red light? Who are these strange people who don't think the law applies to them? Does donning the lycra provide them with immunity from prosecution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all cyclists go through red lights, same way as not all drivers stick to the speed limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who rarely drives or cycles, I'd suggest 90% of drivers and 10% of cyclists try to stay within the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Don't be a knob is the answer. The lycra clad person is a human being, as is the normally dressed person in a tin can behind them. Share and share alike public roads, give Cyclists as much room as if safe to do so, and slow down and wait if that space isn't available. It's not rocket science.

May Contain Nuts Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The one's who've already attained a road worthy level of physical fitness are OK, it's the stupid twits who are cycling in order to try to get fit that cause problems. You know the sort, can't even maintain enough pace/power so that when they're going uphill they're wobbling from side to side (and sometimes that's just their gigantic arse) and moving about a meter every 3 seconds. Had one topple over at the traffic lights going through Castle Donington once, while stationary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagtime Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I live in the Samford ranges just outside of Brisbane so we get a lot of cyclists especially on weekends. I found the easiest way to get past them is 6 litres of V8 muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
