Would rather they did that than choke on petrol fumes Saw a science show last night a guy made a ivention based on a ostrich leg and could run up to 20 miles a hour bobing in and out off traffic congestion And said a athlete using it could actually keep up with the bird So that could be the future bikes out and people pogoing to there work As someone who lives in Briz, I completely agree, and have used the 'Boris bikes' quite a bit. Bristol is quite lucky though in that most of the rail network was ripped up by Mr Beeching. A lot of these have been tunred into cycle paths which connect big parts of the city, then out to Bath. There's also a lot of cycle lanes on both roads and paths all over the city centre. For every lycra clad fanny running a red light, there's a foaming gammon 2" behind you revving so he can hurry home to kids and family who all hate him.

As Easterly as it gets! Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Came up behind a cyclist a few weeks back . Couldn't get past for oncoming traffic. Alongside the road, is a purpose built cycle path. We stopped at a roundabout, I opened the window and said to him 'wouldn't you be better and safer on the cycle path mate?' He replied ' f**k off you fucking arsehole, I'll ride my bike where I want to'. By a strange coincidence, the next time I saw him a few weeks later,he was talking to someone in the street as I walked by. He said to his mate...' some arsehole knocked me off my bike' Oh how I laughed.................... At the crutches........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of obeying the road rules that everyone else does, you make up your own wee rule and justify it by saying you're "doing everyone a favour". Obey the rules or get aff the road. Your argument would be credible if you could, hand on heart, say you never exceed the speed limit or go through a light that's just gone red or stop on a box. And if you'd typed "cyclists'" instead of "cyclists". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 [mention=15829]jupe1407[/mention] [mention=30062]welshbairn[/mention] What makes you think this didn't happen? Seems absolutely consistent with the attitude of entitlement and aggressiveness shown by this forums' cyclists. Sadly people are having these altercations on a daily basis - and I'm sure this will be backed up by the 2019 Cycling attitudes survey which will be concluded by late May. I don't think an endorsement from a guy who posted a photo of someone else's house, pretending it was their own, is particularly convincing tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I'd prefer if you answered the question rather then divert into my property portfolio. I've bolded it this time to concentrate your mind. You celebrate cyclists causing financial, physical, and emotional stress to car owners. You'd probably laugh at an elderly woman falling out a wheelchair into a medium-sized puddle, and you'd probably steal her purse. Just remember: If you're cycling; we're watching and recording. #CAST Aye you certainly come across as a "watcher" tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an excellent testimonial and absolute justice for the horrible abuse you suffered at the hand of this cyclist. It is. The use if the cycle path may have prevented his injury. Of course, he may have been on the cycle path when he was knocked down. It may have been he was knocked down by a person in a buggy , or someone else on a bike. He may well have told someone else to f**k off and they knocked him down! I dont know how it happened. As for me suffering the abuse, it really didnt bother me. I was actually trying to help the guy and he was the belligerent party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
