Cyclists

Saw some stupid sod this morning, right arm out on a wet road, straight across in front of a line of cars, no looking, and right round 90 degrees on a round-a-bout!
Bloody stupid, I'd have got off and crossed by pushing the button, but that's 'giving in' to us motorists!
Don't get me wrong, I'm a cyclist too, but my bike has a turbo trainer clamped firmly to the back wheel!

 

Horses, dont get me started!!!
Should be in a fuckin field NOT on any road, country or other wise!
Why are they allowed to crap all over the road and pavement too?
If my dog did that and I didn't clear it up I'd get fined £80! (and rightly so!!)
They make good dog food after an accident though, my dog's just eaten yesterdays 3.30 faller at Kempton!

 

My sister-in-law had some, Palomino's, I used to ride a little, my Mrs did a bit more, lovely horses but I could never trust anything that moves without brakes and handle bars!
Hers were some sort of special ones that won lots of prizes for Gymkana events, and often featured in Horse & Hound and even got on the front page once!
She had them upto a few years ago, but would NEVER let any one ride them out side of a field, never ever on a road!
It can be done!
I used to totally piss her off by saying, 'I love horses, but could never eat a whole one!

 

Push bikes should have number plates tax and insurance if they are using roads just like all other road users

 

desert speedy I love the darwin awards http://www.darwinawards.com/

 

Years ago I got knocked off my bike by a lorry turning left (he didn't indicate).
I was told in no uncertain terms by the police and the insurance company that it was : "my own stupid fault!"
This is just b*ll*cks!

 

Keen cyclist here. Take cars off the road is the answer. Make them take the bus or train and leave the roads to two wheelers. All sorted then.

 

oooh! You came close there, saved by the 2wheel remark!!

 

Yeah saw that. I've kicked a fair few car doors in my time when cycling through central-ish London.

 

All us train drivers are safe.....I drove trains round south London Driver Only Operated (DOO) for over 10 years...Apart from seeing mugging, Fighting, one rape & countless number of lap tops disappearing down the platforms with their new owner...It was safe as you could get.

 

Well there's no doubt in my mind that Grayling is a muppet, after all he is a politician, therefore a lying tw4t. Also if you go cycling through such a narrow gap you are asking for trouble. Both got what they deserve. The cyclist got hurt and Grayling will get bad publicity.

 

I like it Steve...................................

 

Are you sure???

 

And insurance should be compulsory as well

 

Cyclists filter, motorcyclists filter, motorists should 'think bike' before opening car doors either side. With all due respect I don't think filterers of either variety deserve to be fuck3d up by inconsiderate thoughtless car users.

 

My new ride a Specialized Roubaix no emissions so no VED due but I have insurance

 

With a 7 seater sidecar????, strange beast,lol

 

But they don't "think bike". That's why if you go filtering through gaps at speed you are asking for trouble. The smaller the gap the lower the speed, even down to slow slow almost stop. I really shudder sometimes when I see bikes filtering at what I consider to be far too fast.
