For anyone that has seen the new bridge or it's connecting roads they will understand why he's an idiot

Correct. To be more precise: An attention seeking idiot with a GoPro trying to be "cool" just like those who make their bikes unsafe by removing some of the brakes.... And just like the fools who were caught trying to cycle across before it opened when it was still a building site.

Yup, idiots just like those who ignore read lights, pedestrian crossings, other vehicles etc. etc. etc. Morons.

The line between banter and insults is repeatedly being crossed lately - please desist before the Infraction System is invoked.

Thank you Hugh. I think I've been the model of restraint :angel:. Grateful thanks to papa smurf for being my covert rabble-rouser ;)

What you mean this guy ought to be using the cycle path which has been provided? Why though, when he can make a point of his right to choose and in so doing be far more likely come into direct contact with all those pesky car drivers who spend their days trying to mow down perfectly sensible cyclists who're doing nothing whatsoever wrong? :spin:

Yep you got it, a perfectly good cycle path and he decides to ride on the road which by the way is a heavily used road by both cars and trucks. :dunce:

Yes but then if/when he has an accident he can blame the drivers you see - it's always their fault after all...

No? :dozey:

Should the cyclist be using the greasy surface caused by falling leaves at this time of the year? But, regardless, use of cycle lanes is not compulsory; how would you do a right turn or negotiate a roundabout?

You seem to have limited road craft, should you be driving?

So whats the point of a cycle way if the cyclists cannot be bothered to use it. BTW it was a trick question i made the post because i knew you would be the only person who would post NO and then come out with bull excreta:LOL:

I'm not a fan of the uber keen cyclists in their ridiculous lycra; they look silly and deserve to be ridiculed, particularly the OAPs ! They also need to made to obey the highway code and not look down their noses at any more leisurely cyclists out with their kids who aren't part of 'lycra club'.

However, how many people have cyclists killed, and how many have cars killed ? There are more deadly individuals on the roads out there (they mostly seem to be middle aged men driving Audi's/BMWs for some reason....)
