Having had my dad recently complaining about various cyclists doing stupid things on the road, and me having to defend us biking lot, saying its just the minority, I was hoping not see any stupid things.
I was driving along an A road, not a constant stream of traffic, but there were a fair few cars about, and it was dark. All of a sudden came across a cyclist, who not only didn't have any lights or reflectors on his bike he was wearing a black wooly hat (no helmet!), a black coat and dark coloured jeans. Good thing I was paying attention cus he was rather difficult to spot.
If you're anyone on here apologies if I nearly gave you a heart attack coming up behind you like that but trust me, you scared me too!
So why on earth do people do things like that? its just asking for trouble!
Tsk, students 🙄
Fits the description of a bike thief...

this is not a well formed thought, but...
there's a difference between a [i]cyclist[/i], and a bloke on a bike.
or, to put it another way; doing silly things is not behaviour restricted to cyclists.
i'm perfectly capable of doing silly things without the help of a bicycle...
(no helmet!)
because in the situation you described that would make all the difference in the event of an accident.
Some people are idiots. Some of them ride bikes.
