OK apologies you are right, knobber cyclists don't help but what I guess I was trying to say is "the cause" is ****ed, ALL of us riding perfectly (never gonna happen anyway) is not going to fix it. A big increase in people cycling, proper driver/rider education and proper punishment for drivers* who maime and kill others through carelessness/wrecklessness might. I like the new motorbike awareness ads, would be nice to see similar pedal cycle ones.How am I being Naive exactly?
Dunno if this was aimed at me or the OPs "lycra clad twit", but I also own a car and don't ride or drive like that.you’re no better than them, thank God you haven’t got a bloody car
*yes the odd cyclist injures someone, you can string them up too if you want but the wholesale slaughter (very DM-esque) of pedestrians and cyclists by motorists and subsequent lenient sentences is indefensible.
well this went ott. to put some context to this. I have lived in cambridge the nightmare cyclist city from hell, I have met 1000's bad riders but this bloke was on another planet. The carpark was free flowing and he was overtaking cars doing 15mph when he obviously could not go fast enough to safely overtake, he was causing every car to brake when he swerved in front, he was one of those cyclists who was obv trying to prove a point, in 17 years of driving it was the worst riding I have seen before. P1ssing 7/10 car drivers off is really bad going, wish i had it on film as I was shocked to see him overtaking in such a daft way. Ah well next time I wil just use my no claims bonus on him 🙂
