Cyclists:

[Stoyve]

Who told them that they could run red lights, anyway?

Some of those fucking idiots shouldn't be allowed on the road.

Discuss.

[TheShaggyDA]

It's when cyclists can't decide whether they are road users or pedestrians. As soon as a red light is encountered, they go into pedestrian mode.

I prefer to cycle on the pavement anyway.

when i used to ride a pushbike i got stopped on the way to work for riding on the pavement, the week after i got stopped for riding on the road! Where the fuck do you ride then?

Cyclists are okay as long as they look where they are going.

I get annoyed at cyclists jumping redlights, especially if im on foot and trying to cross a road. Swear i'll boot one off one day.

Oi

I pick and choose whichever is faster, but only when safe of course ie if red i will go on pavement to use a crossing, but not on the road to run the red light.

If the law can't make up their mind then i'll cycle where i want, like motorcycling there are pros and cons, cycling on both pavement and road is a pro.

The only reason I detest cyclists is because of the red light running. And fuck it, I'll be honest - I'm jealous. That and cycling on the pavement. But then again, I used to do that as a kid (admittedly not in a city fucking centre).

My argument has no foundations so I like them really.

There are cycle routes on pavements though.

Well if I'm walking on a pavement then cyclists had better move round me or they'll find themselves flat on their arse. I'm quite a big feller and I'm not moving out of their way. They're not supposed to be on the pavement so if they want to share it with pedestrians, they go round not through. The ringing of bells will just make things go harder on them.

I've pushed cyclists off their bikes before when they did not show due courtesy to ther road/pavement users and I will undoubtedly do so again.

I always go round and tend to choose the route that is less populated by cars/pedestrians respectively, which is why its handy to pick and choose between road/pavement.

IM guilty of being an arse on my mountain bike. on my bmx im not too bad because its knackering riding a fixed cog . But on my mountain bike im a nightmare and i admit it. It's all part of the fun. I chop and change between riding on the road, pavement, grass verges, through traffic that is stood still everything, as long as i can do it ill do it, regardless. I know its dangerous, but so is riding a motorbike, doesnt stop me riding does it, and yes it might be inconsiderate to other road users but so what. Ive not hit anything/one yet XD... i really must get my MB back together again. I miss terrorising preston

What about road positioning?
I had one cyclist riding in the middle of the road like a bike!
I couldn't get past him because of oncoming traffic in the next lane.
He was going around 15mph too, so he was holding me and everyone up behind him.
In the end I beeped him and went really close he soon shifted.
I did feel guilty but he was taking the mick, I think I went half a mile at 15 mph in a 40 limit before I got aggressive.

maybe this vid i posted a while ago will help lol


Cyclists do my head in they weave round infront of you and wont let traffic past and wont use the cycle paths that where provided when the yapped for them, they prefer to use a lane on the dual carriageway and cycle beside their path.

I do get out on (push)bikes actually i was out twice this week in a bid to keep fit and my motorbike is being fixed. So you think its ok for them to weave around infront of traffic? and not use their cycle lanes?

They also dont use signals when turning and i near witnessed a nasty accident when a cyclist shot across traffic and turned right while other cars where going ahead without signalling. Sure the car driver had a fright as it was a close one.

The should be more safe on the road like using life savers before thinking that people will see them, its the same for a motorbike, if i did what a cyclist done in safety terms i would be dead.


As long as they keep safe then i will be happy as i am not happy with anyone who near causes an accident where anyone is involved.

I am courteous to cyclists, i always leave a comfortable gap when i am waiting to overtake, and always leave plenty room to the left of me when i do overtake. Running red lights is just plain stupid when crossing very busy junctions, if they get twatted by a gigantic lorry, they only have themselves to blame. I have no problem with them crossing a junction as a pedestrian would do either, because like you said it causes no harm. Running a red light in rush hour at a busy junction is just plain stupid, though and i have seen it done many times.

Cyclists on dual carriageways piss me off too, once again it's their own fault if they get flattened. There are cycle paths there for them to use, but instead they endanger themselves and people who are actually entitled to use that road for absolutely no logical reason.

Of course i'm not saying cyclists should be weaving, but then I must admit i've never seen a weaving cyclist, maybe the cyclist are drunk where you live!! And maybe where you live you are fortunate enough to have a council that lays decent cycle lanes, if so then their use would be beneficial to all cyclists. However from my experience and that of many cyclists cycle lanes are a total nonsense and actually put the cyclist at a disadvantage due to the obscure detours and abrupt finishing. Just because they are their doesn't mean a cyclist should use them as proven in the courts not so long ago. Fair play by the way for going out on your bike.
