My dad opened his door on a cyclist when he was taking me and some friends to a Sunday league game. He had a crease in his door where the wheel made impact for months.

Bastards……I had to endure 2 guys(tourists) riding side by side on a country road for 2 miles one day, eventually I got an opportunity to overtake as they stopped to look at their map, I pulled in just in front of them, did a full wheel spin with the back wheels and pelted them with stones and dust!!

There's been a dramatic increase in these bastards recently. Why don't they just **** off?

I was putting something in the car today and turned round just as some bellend flew past me on the path at full pelt. He missed me by inches. Both of us would have been in hospital. What a twat, it's against the law to ride a bike on the path

They've taken control of our roads... We need some **** like farage to arrange a vote to take them back

My requirement would be for cyclists to use the road they should have:

1. Specific insurance similar to car drivers,
2. Number plates to be able to identify them,
3. Pay road tax.






4. Give authority to designated snipers to shoot them if they break the Highway Code. :bandit:

That's the highway code for ya <laugh>

They ride side by side so it's easier and safer to get past them.

Think 10 cyclists strung out up the road in single file. Safer overtaking that or 10 doubled up so you can get past quicker?

I'm guessing if you think the single file is better then you are one of those ****s who think it's fine to pass within a few inches of a cyclist, putting his or her life in danger?
 
I wonder, do cyclists who wear cameras on their helmets stop recording when they decide they don't want to wait at a red light like the rest of us road users? <confused>

I’m in Ireland mate and they were side by side on a narrow country road which is against the law here. They by law should’ve either pulled in to leave me pass or allowed me to pass safely but these ****s were well aware I was behind them and were taking the mick!! I live in a scenic part of the country which attracts a lot of cyclists which the majority of are fine and abide by the rules, they get my respect on the road but if you’re gonna act the ****er than expect to be treated as a ****er

I've a mate whose father was killed by a car. Happened to be a Tesla. Turns out driving in low sun with no screen wash can be fatal for cyclists.

They found the reason that he didn't see the cyclist to be no screen was as the Tesla apparently records all of the messages given to the driver.
