If you wanna use the Road then dont be a duche and ride infront of me at 3km/hour! Get to the side damn it! If there is a bike lane USE IT!!!!!!!

P.S. If anyone was riding their bike infront of a grey hyundai this morning go to hell! There was a bike lane next to you, you lycra wearing sunbitch.

if there is no bike lan provided , cyclists are legal allowed to claim the whole lane

Not in the middle of the road especially when there IS a bike lane which is what im pissed at. If there is no bike lane then ride on the left side of the road. Riding in the middle of the road is annoying to most people.

sometimes bike lanes are dangerous to ride in , glass and other crap in the path. massive potholes etc

Riding in the middle of the road might be annoying , but its legal, Bikes are classed as vehicles and are allowed to take a whole lane to themselves. but a cyclist that rides responsibly will most of the time move to the left to allow traffic to pass

HOLY CRAP R U FOR REAL!!! If your classed as a vehicle then pay a registration fee and obey the speed limits. If you go to slow you should be pulled over and arrsted like anyone else! RANT RANT RANT... sorry i like ranting its a good way to vent... BUT R U SERIOUS!!!!!!! OMG GET OFF THE ROAD YOU MIDDLE OF THE ROAD 3km/hour arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

For the most part I hate the arrogant lycra wearing so and so's as much as kindred. They should pay road tax have rego, obey the road rules like all road users!

But.....
I was rideing my bike home from work the other day and I was on the left hand side of the lane heading towards a T intersection, when some twat in a car cut the corner (from the left of the T) by that much, that I had to swerve into the gutter to avoid him.

So not all twats wear lycra!!!

kindred · 22-01-2009, 04:21 PM

Yeah but im talking about the twats not the good ones.

I hate it when there are 2 riders, side by side, just chatting to each other while riding in the middle of the road.

I think cyclists need to realise that they can't have it all- they want to claim footpaths AND the road. And have their own rules to boot.

Admire road cyclists- it takes guts to ride on public roads- but need to remember that they are not as visible as a car, can not run red lights, dangerously sneak up the side of traffic and need to pull to the side when in an area where they are causing a traffic jam.

Most of all, they need to respect pedestrians.
