Can I ask the "leg shaver's of this site" what the cycling etiquette is with regards to riding in peletons and cars? I just followed a peleton up past Froggat and it was impossible to get past safely for absoloutely ages (not just 5 minutes before anyone gets grumpy). Now I understand they probably ride like that for their protection but this was taking the piss a little.

My Dad's just been put in hospital by a 16 year old kid on bike with no lights, only one working brake, riding on the pavement. A friend of Mrs Obi's mum just died from cracking his head on the pavement after being knocked over by a cyclist in London. Risking you own life biking in heavy traffic is good fun, I've been there, but killing and injuring pedestrians is not really that clever is it. Be careful out there.

Riding in a bunch on busy roads where its hard for cars to overtake on a very busy Sunday is pretty thoughtless to say the least. I think in this case use of the word peleton (implying a group of experienced riders moving at speed) may well not be appropriate - more like a big bunch of bikers hogging the road. Mind you, its a free country..... it could have been some 99 year old out for a potter in their model-T hogging the road instead. As the last few posts have all highlighted, there are loads of cyclists about who act inconsiderately. I think its important (for me personally at least) to make sure I'm not one of them. Its always the minority of tosspots who give the majority a bad name. C'est la vie!

some local chain gang...

ive had a run in, two mornings in a row with two wanker taxi drivers who insist that i must ride absolutely in the gutter or else i will get a car VERY close to me before a beep as they pass giving me the finger. funny how no other car driver has ever complained about how i ride on the road. also, i dont like car drivers who insist on passing on a round-a-bout. not fun.

I know that some of you drive cars;  but please, let's be aggreed:  car drivers are cunts.




Motorcyclists pay good road tax too.   Blows me away how many car drivers forget they drive a steel box.

Bus drivers are bigger cunts...


Blows me away how many car drivers forget they drive a steel box. 

...and drive bigger steel boxes too, and are completely unaware of the length of their vehicle and ignorant of the Highway code which states...

Quote

163

Overtake only when it is safe and legal to do so. You should

    * not get too close to the vehicle you intend to overtake
    * use your mirrors, signal when it is safe to do so, take a quick sideways glance if necessary into the blind spot area and then start to move out
    * not assume that you can simply follow a vehicle ahead which is overtaking; there may only be enough room for one vehicle
    * move quickly past the vehicle you are overtaking, once you have started to overtake. Allow plenty of room. Move back to the left as soon as you can but do not cut in

Give vulnerable road users at least as much space as you would a car

    * take extra care at night and in poor visibility when it is harder to judge speed and distance
    * give way to oncoming vehicles before passing parked vehicles or other obstructions on your side of the road
    * only overtake on the left if the vehicle in front is signalling to turn right, and there is room to do so
    * stay in your lane if traffic is moving slowly in queues. If the queue on your right is moving more slowly than you are, you may pass on the left
    * give motorcyclists, cyclists and horse riders at least as much room as you  would when overtaking a car (see Rules 211-215)

Remember: Mirrors – Signal – Manoeuvre
212

When passing motorcyclists and cyclists, give them plenty of room (see Rules 162-167). If they look over their shoulder it could mean that they intend to pull out, turn right or change direction. Give them time and space to do so.

213

Motorcyclists and cyclists may suddenly need to avoid uneven road surfaces and obstacles such as drain covers or oily, wet or icy patches on the road. Give them plenty of room and pay particular attention to any sudden change of direction they may have to make.


Given up bothering to write to First Mainline and now challenge the drivers themselves as to why they got so close, most are a bunch of  :wank: 's though, and probably couldn't even  :rtfm: the Highway Code.

Lorry drivers are as bad as bus drivers. I got knocked off by some cunt who forgot about his large trailer behind him. Then to top it off the twat in the car behind, stopped laughed, told me to get a car and drove off. While I dusted myself down with large cut to my leg. Most drivers are inpatient wankers who think getting somewhere two minutes earlier will make such a difference to their life. The other thing thats happened recently is drivers moving there cars so you can't get passed when they are stuck in a queue of traffic.
