I had a run in with one of those idiots the other week.The sheers stupidity of the man and it seams cyclist dressed like that who think they are the only people on the roads.I know there are some good guys but also far too many agressive idiots as well.:grr:

Tried road cycling a year or two back .... It's lethal from both sides ... I stay off road as much as possible these days after some near misses . This guy is a fucking idiot

When i jumped out of my car the 6ft 4 toffee nosed middle manager shot of sharpish.He was already out of sight but i tied to follow him,he had just disappeared. |
I avoid the road like the plague because of this , many a driver don't see you and I ride with my off road night lights lit up during the day . Road craft on both sides is shocking these days and I ride very much aware of other users and watch them ( I'm on 4.5k of bike ) and don't want to get hit again or cut up . It's much safer falling off in the woods or hitting trees ... Which I do . The guy in this clip should have his bike stuffed up his arse tbh

When i used to cycle everywhere i always stuck towards the gutters for fear of big heavy steel boxes on wheels that could at the blink of an eye win any tussle with me.I respected drivers and the road. |

Tell me about it . We have a two mile loop in the woods behind us in the valley . I'd put my summer tyres on a week or two before and the Friday it was perfectly dry and fast and technical so Saturday rather than do my usual trip to the tpt i thought I'd do four circuits of this as its steep and some technical downhill etc but it had rained and the first lap I slithered down and up a ravine going flying and just missing a tree , lesson not learnt so I did another lap .... Slithered down the ravine and hit a tree quite well bending my bars out of line so stopped and straightened the bike up , caught my breath and decided to head the warning and go home by the fields and farmers lanes . Just as I got halfway home I thought it's s bit brighter than normal and realised I'd left my cycling giggs in the mud after falling off so ended up going back and yes I hit said tree again ..., this time I ended up rather black and blue and cut up do thought **** this and ambled off home , 3 weeks later the brushes have just gone and the cuts have finally lost their scabs off my shins ...... Gotta love summer tyres and rain and mud n roots

The general apathy among the greater part of all road users is on the rise.
Lemmings! Kids walking into the street, oblivious and untrained. Drivers unaware that they just parked on top of the car next to them I watched in utter fascination as a bike courier avoided moving obstacle after fixed obstacle, while reading a full A4 sized map that obscured most of her field of vision beyond arm length. The driver parked as far right on the hard shoulder as possible, fixing a puncture on the right side. The school run moms driving liked crazed loons, at 40mph, in a road with a twenty mph imposed speed limit, because some tit put a new primary school next to a busy road and an industrial estate In nature, it's called evolution. Survival of the fittest. Within the human race, we call it a reason for litigation, and make it someone else's fault. |
