No, no, no! I want it to be fast for me - as per London, if you let all the car numpties ride bikes it's slows it down for us that like 'making progress' Smile.

It doesn't make reference to the blood red rage you're given by nearly being killed by idiot cyclists, whose defensive riding mostly consists of assuming everyone else has to get out of their way.

Fuck Elephant and Castle. Seriously.

This wasn't the result of "common sense", it was the result of a study. You know, a bit of work and some actual thinking.

Common sense is overrated.

Very right. There is nothing about commonsense. Threads are to discuss every kind of material. doesn't matter for what community it belongs to. obviously this will be so informative for the bike riders.

Would you like a nice cup of chess?

That's teaching the vast Majority of us here nothing. We all knew this, as you do OP btw Thumbs Up

Which is why the Government lowered our road tax..oh..wait, no they didn't!

In the UK that saving would be much greater. So those bike riders wriggling past you in the traffic are not only saving themselves time and money, they’re also saving it for car drivers, as well as cutting emissions.

Move over and let them through, or better still, get on a bike yourself. You’ll arrive at your destination sooner, and less stressed.


Yea, right.
It's a nice thought but cars do not think like that, well, the vast, VAST majority do not think like that.
All they see is a big bad biker getting in front of them. Pushing in is how they see it.

We're doing em a favour ffs Very Happy
