minor things that make you fume



Had a cyclist earlier in front of me with all the clobber on, and on his mobile phone swerving all over the road, is the law the same for a cyclist riding on a main road as it is for the driver of a car?

I had one this afternoon . Chav riding no-handed , middle of the road , looking down at his phone . Coming towards me , too . Idiot
 

No number plate, no accountability. They can't do what they want, and know it.

There are some really dodgy drivers on the roads these days but, it cheeses me off a bit when you get all these cyclist safety groups coming out saying motorists should be more considerate and aware of cyclists, listening to them you would think cyclists never did anything wrong. The thing that gets on my tits the most is when the lights are on red, and instead of stopping like a car has to they bounce up on the kerb, go round the lights then bounce back onto the road, also seen them at a red light at the front of the traffic, they slowly edge forward, and keep doing it till there is a gap in the traffic who’s lights are on green, and when they get a gap they just pull out.

The way I see it is it’s a two way thing, motorists should be more conscious of cyclists, and cyclists should adhere to the same rules as a motorist.

Not having a pop at all cyclists by the way, there are bad ones like there are bad motorists. Just that these cyclists groups never ever mention the things they get up too, no, it’s always the motorists fault.

You're right. They should be required to high viz yellow jackets and helmets for a start. You would think they would want to be visible, wouldn't you?

But for some having to don safety gear ain't cool, man. Restricts their freedom and that.

You'll not be free when you're lying in traction me old china.
