Cyclists Again

[Zoiderman]

It's not difficult to drive a Kia Zoiderman, plenty of old folks manage it everyday without struggling to pass cyclists riding abreast.

Did you take your driving gloves off before remonstrating with said cyclist?

2/10, we all know that's spaceman. Poor attempt.

But again, shows considerable ignorance to the road to believe any car could navigate side by side bikes on a single track road. Normally, IT bods are quite could at Spatial awareness. Not you it would appear...

I have taken up walking to office rather than take the tube as part of a an exercising regime and I have to say the cyclists in London are really twunts. They behave like militants ignoring red traffic lights and racing through as if they are in a road race. ******* idiots. Only the other day I saw a man crossing the road when lights were pedestrian green and narrowly avoided a cyclist who ignored the red light and swerved around this guy at breakneck speed. I am yet to find a sensible cyclist apart from really confused tourists on Boris bikes.

The law needs changing

When cyclists ride 2 abreast (or more) causing obstruction to other road users and forcing them into oncoming traffic to pass, those on the outside (unless it's children) should be crushed beneath the wheels of the vehicle trying to get past them (without penalty)

If the cyclists can maintain the same speed as the other road users - 30mph, 40mph 60mph then fair enough, ride abreast.

I always try to get as close as possible when passing these ignorant [£^!$. and have in the past accidentilly forced them into the rider next to them, causing rather satisfying pileups on several (3) occasions. One rider actually cought up with me at traffic lights in Dawlish after one such incident, something he no doubt still regrets to this day.

Cyclists, please have some consideration for other road users.

Fook me, there's some hard bastards behind those wheels isn't there?

That happens all the time. The recreational cyclist seem to obey the laws, the commuters are like road vigilanties - take no prisoners type of animals. I had several encounters where cyclists are quite happy to run over a pedestrian. One nearly ran over my 3 y/o a couple of years back.
Perhaps time we fit some of these guys with transponders so they can be identified and mailed a ticket when they act like ass***** on the roads.

And I'm a cyclist! I don't commute on one, you think its bad in London, around here you don't dare take a cycle to work because there is a 50% chance you won't make it to the office.

It's like the ones that commute have to go as fast as possible and ignore every law of the road just so that they can smugly tell everyone how much faster cycling is than driving. Well, if I just drove down the pavement knocking over anyone in my way I'd be pretty f***ing fast too.

Do you all head down to Jeremy Clarksons house at the weekend and give each other mutual blowjobs?

Regardless of whether you like the riding approach of some cyclists any interaction between your dick compensator and a cyclist will result in an injury to aforementioned human.

Slow down, wide birth, go around. Surely that's not going to make you flaccid for long is it.

...and again, basic spatial knowledge goes whoosh over that fat head of yours.

One car width lane, taken up by 2 cyclists. Come on MF, you're in IT, surely you know about basic geometries, maths and the like?

I ride a bike, between 50-150 miles a week, depending where I am. I know how to ride a bike, maybe that fat ass of yours is stopping you riding one properly.

You fricking wait for a place to pass or for them to pull over. Far to many cars don't know how to pass a cyclist.

Did you used to be a bus or taxi driver? They also think they own the road.
