*** Cyclists on Trains

[Shimano105]

Not at all. I'm all for cyclists if they obey the same rules of the roads that govern the rest of us. Merely responding to your threats of violence/little chat.

I'm all for drivers as long as they do the same. By your admission you don't (previous posts).

I didn't make any threats of violence you did - self appointed forum bouncer whose opening gambit is to kick someone's head in speaks volumes. I offer confrontation whenever anyone decides to nearly kill me. If they wish to raise the stakes to violence then that's their choice.

Feel free to get angry, you won't change anything.

Just got myself a shiney new bell for my recumbent. A really loud one!

Can't tell you what a joy it is to edge up close behind INCONSIDERATE WALKERS WHO ARE BLOCKING MY PATH and let fly an ear shattering TRRRING! TRRRING!

Makes them jump out of their skins!

You're another self righteous twat, ain't yer?

This thread isn't about me, it's about cyclists.

Hth.

I like the smug self-righteous way you chastise me.

I'd push you off your bike if you did that to me.

You'll get my umbrella up your arse should you be so foolish as to do that near me.

Actually - that would be better.

Actually - that would be better.

For whom?

Glad to be of assistance.

As for you Shimano it was your post that implied violence, not mine.

For whom?

I'd like to see him try to ride his bike with Zeitys brolly sticking out of his jacksie

[d000hg]

What, for ringing his bell when you're blocking the road? Would you prefer him to shout "Oi love, shove yer fat arse outta the way"?

I'm currently working in the cycle capital of Germany (even more than Holland methinks) and they pretty much tend to keep to the rules and car drivers are very conscientious of them here but even so they can be a bit of a pain at times when they don't follow the rules but...they get nicked here and its enjoyable watching it. The Ordnungsamt have cycle checkpoints and if you're caught riding where you shouldn't, like the pedestrian only town center, then its an on the spot fine or doing something wrong. The town is also home to a lot of students, the majority of which seem to be young women of which for some reason, 90% are attractive and look good riding bikes which has caused me numerous sharp braking moments (apparently there is something like 4 women to every man here!)

So the view is a bit like Shimano105's avatar, but 4 to every man. Nothing to see here, please move along.

Where in Germany is this btw, and when does cycle traffic peak?
