Yesterday I was riding along and passed a motorist who was clearly updating their Facebook status(now single), could not believe how someone could be so stupid.
Day before I saw one speeding they really don't help themselves, weren't even wearing a helmet , hi viz or full body armour nutters all of them !!!!!!!!!!
I was about to go nuts myself but was reminded it happens tens of thousands of times every day.
It's suprising what you notice when wearing headphones whilst undertaking.
that is nothing you should see what pedestrians do when you cycle amongst them...tits the lot of them
One of 'them' even had the cheek to beep his horn at me whilst I was swerving along adjusting the alignment on my GoPro Hero <Have-a-go edition > the other day.
Needless to say, I've posted the vid on YouTube with a close-up of his reg no and reported him to the police for infringing my right-to-moan
🙂
Oh tell me about it. I saw one this morning weaving in and out of traffic like he was the only person on the road. No helmet, no high-viz, no concern for anyone else. This was some little tool in a white Ford Bellend or something, doing 45-plus, jumping up a queue of traffic on a busy 30mph main road with parked cars and shops and pedestrians crossing from either side. I had to anchor on to avoid going into the front of him.
Obviously because of this one idiot's behaviour there should now be no further spending on any road development or maintenance, all funds should be diverted instead to building cycling infrastructure, and everyone who has ever driven, sat in, or looked at a car should be hunted down and killed.
(But seriously, I hope the little shite in the Vauxhall Flaccid or whatever it was smears his empty skull along the tarmac sooner rather than later, preferably without hitting anyone else.)
To be fair, they are using a very environmentally sound form of transport. Its benefits to the nations health are amazing, and they kill hardly anyone on the roads every year.
Oh.... Hold on
I actually spoke to a motorist just the other day who was sounding his horn all the time and shouting at inappropriate bike riders (although he was ignoring the cyclists).
I respectfully suggested he get out and ride a bike himself to which he replied that he had bought many but couldn't decide which one to ride and had therefore subsequently sold them.
When questioning why he needed to educate everyone else on the road he said it was due to the stress of his job as a sex agony aunt... 8)
