world of hate

[Bender]

Well not really hate, resentment, envy and malice?

Car drivers don't like motorcyclists, cyclists don't seem to like motorcyclists, pedestrians aren't that keen on motorcyclists..

motorcyclists don't like cyclists, cars, lorries, buses or jaywalkers


but we all have to get on...


reminds me of the office

I'm always amused/saddened the way motorcyclists are so willing to hit out at other similar minority interests that are actually pretty similar, just with a little different values/annoyances. (Ie, it's very rare to cyclist speeding, but they often go on the pavement/jump red lights, while the opposite is true for motorbikes.)

[Bender]

perhaps I should have put agree/disagree

back to bikes after years of motoring various incidents cause comments above, things people have said and different reactions received as a biker, that's all.

merry christmas and a happy new year

I can't really understand this apparent dislike of cyclists by some bikers either. I would imagine a lot of bikers started off with a self-propelled machine. In fact, it may be the case with some that if they hadn't had a push bike, they may never have bought a motorcycle, just like if they hadn't bought a moped, they would have gone straight on to a car and never have discovered the joys of motorcycling.
Good thing about a pushbike is that you won't lose your licence if nipping down to the shop for another six-pack after you've had a drink. Although, I did have a mate that got done for being "drunk in charge of a push bike once

cyclist have a habit of two abreast riding, plus cars can be excessively cautious overtaking them (talking rural areas here) so you can be going round a bend to find you need to slow rapidly, however something like that might reasonably be expected and so maybe just one of those things.

My brother is a massively keen cyclist and he/his mates don't like motorcyclists much, this is in central London, imagine it's bikers using cycle lanes and turning in front of them.

Personally it's the car driver that either jumps or drifts absent mindedly out into your path that gives the most cause for concern.

Slightly off topic: cycling is actually healthy/exercise where as motorcycling isn't particularly (think how you feel after a long bike ride - or is it just me) yet motorcycling has that exciting image whereas cycling = lycra and sweat.

used to be a cyclist myself until I was knocked off by a car on a roundabout now if I cycle is sometimes on the pavement to avoid junctions!

I myself has been knocked off my push-bike at a roundabout by a car,
But I never judge other people for what transport.
But like what was said earlier it don't matter what the are driving/riding if they are being a twat then I will call them a twat.

Luckily we can all come together in our shared hatred of tramps.

As a sometime-cyclopath, I don't have much time for the light- and kerb- jumping variety, as their antics get me tarred with the same brush. Likewise with Sunday Hero biker.

OH HAI, welcome to BCF by the way. What are you riding?

I really hate the gobsh*ting drivel that usually starts with.. "I hate cyclists they don;t pay tax, they slow me down, they do this they do that..." if that cyclist was driving a car you'd be whining about the sheer amount of traffic on the road FFS... also that cyclist probably has a car and a couple of motorbikes and pays thrice the b*stard road tax,.. LOL... go grumpy me... if you can't overtake a bicycle go do your test again...

I actually quite like them, they give the place a touch of colour. Proper mental tramps that know their place, I mean, not professional pity-muggers that shuffle after you like change-zombies, claiming to have PTSD or whatever their excuse is.

My theory is that proper Mental Tramps aren't actually talking to themselves, they're talking to each other. Like, some drunken Scotch is hunched in a doorway in Soho ranting about the Lizard Saucer People, and another drunken Scotch is lying in a gutter in Prague and telling him that they're really just pawns on the Robot Girl Scouts. Makes sense, right?

Oi!.. less of this tramp hate!
Currently sporting a growing dishevelled beard, always in oily jeans and bike jacket and now completing the look with fingerless gloves, I'm really the pushing the tramp chic... so as "one of them", I lodge my objections right now!
