For hundreds of years we have seen cows grazing in open spaces in Cambridgeshire. Tradition meant that Cattle grids were used to keep them safely on their green grassy havens. Then well meaning but idiotic councillors installed cycle friendly cattle grids at a huge cost so that cyclists no longer needed to dismount to cross the grid. Guess what. They were no longer cattle grids and the cows swiftly legged it and escaped. Are cyclists to blame here. What is going on here guys. It's all over the news |

"I thought the whole reason to cycle was so you could swap the seat for a dildo and ride over cattle grids?"
Two nun were cycling through the old part of the city. One said 'I've never came this way before' The other replied 'it's the cobblestones' |

Riding over normal cattle grids isn't difficult, as long as you slow down and go in a straight line. The only problem I've ever had is the cows standing in front of the grids and not letting me through.

Puy the old cattle grids back to stop rampaging herds of cows from wandering the high street, taking up all the seats in Costa and to stop them forming organised protests outside Maccies.
Then put small ramps each side of the grids for cyclists to use to jump over the grids, Eddie Kidd style.
They'll just have to pedal a little faster.

"It doesn't look *very* chaotic
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-65925909.amp"
C'mon this is life trough a tabloid headline. They squeezed a lot into this story. Old and ancient ways upended, the uselessness of local government and all for the benefit of bloody cyclists.
mooo! |

We have the wiggle traverse across numerous cattle grids across the forest, without the need for any cycle safety amendments. Council are clearly at fault...
NB. Cows rolling across cattle grids, to reach tasty delights are a pain |

Cattle grids are a bugger to cross in a wheelchair. Unless there's a pedestrian gate at the side that's wide enough, not a style or kissing gate, then fine, but if there are obstacles at the side, then the cattle grid is also probably a step too far (pun intended). |

As a cyclist... Road and mountain biker. Cyclists are an absolute pain.
They ride on the roads and complain that a car is there. Ride side by side when cars are behind. Wear cameras for "gotcha" moments. It never stops.
Combining cyclists whining with health and safety cultist councillors... The cows escape.
Rant over |

Why cant cyclists just ride over cattle grids like cars and motorbikes do . Why would they have to dismount. Why do they cause so much drama. And why do they have to take up so muvh room on roads . Its like they get a cycle . Automaticaly Have to wear lycra and become an ass  |

Because there's a particular technique to crossing them, you don't want to get it wrong though.
As to your other points. lol lolol |

"Just out of curiosity, if all cycling got banned, what group of people would everyone turn their irrational hatred to next? "
Everyone hates cyclists?
They'll hate whoever they're told to hate. Trans people maybe teachers. Environmental activists are in with a good chance too |

Sorry, everyone wasn't the best word for me to use there, I meant all those on the anti cyclist bandwagon.

Is the bandwagon cattle-grid proof? |

Yes, I believe they are, rather ironically though, the horses that pull them are not |

Cycled all my life. Don't wear lycra or helmet. Polite to motorists even when they're aggressive and always pedal over cattle grids.
Oh, and I save the NHS money by being so healthy. I'm one less car on the road too. |
