"Done riding bike on road and yes ive used cycle lanes were there have been but now cyclists think they own the road and what about us car drives what we have to put up with for starters you cyclists for starters then bloody trackers " What you have to put up with? Which is? I’m a driver and cyclist so I don’t think I’m biased either way. I ride 20 miles 3 times a week on the road and at least 3 times per ride I have cars either sitting right in my back wheel or over taking with a car on the other side, over taking on a corner, not leaving me enough space, pulling out on me, the list goes on. I don’t think I own the road but if I or a driver makes a mistake I’m likely to be the one that comes off worse. | |||

I assume you think they should all be fined too? | |||

"Are cyclists just a load of Lycra twats" I'm sure they don't *all* fall into that category but I have to admit that there does seem to be a disproportionate number of selfish cycling twats in Cambridge who seem to think it's perfectly okay to speed down pavements swearing at any pedestrian who has the temerity not to move out of their way instantly. It drives me mad when the city is *covered* in bloody cycle paths  | |||

Shame some drivers don't afford me the space I'm legally allowed to make me feel safe on the roads. " A ton of moving metal versus a bicycle there is only one winner. If you swerve to avoid a pot hole then you are risking your life. Drivers cannot legislate for erratic cyclists swerving without warning in front of their vehicle. Similarly they cannot, nor should not drive on the opposite side of the road endangering oncoming vehicles just because you make a movement toward their vehicle. The responsibility for your safety does not solely belong to them it belongs to you too. If you want safe exercise riding a bicycle then go to a gym, there it is rare to find vehicles that you might wilfully obstruct. Too many Lance Armstrong wannabes littering our roads when they could achieve their fitness or exercise regime in the comfort of a gym. Always trying to pass on the responsibility of their own failings when it comes to personal safety. If you don't like the popular mode of society transport, the motor vehicle, then don't cycle on the road. You will not be missed. | |||

They should not have to argue with vehicle drivers over their safety. If you choose to make poor driving choices such as overtaking when there is oncoming traffic or it is dangerous to do so then that is your fault, not the cyclists.

"Are cyclists just a load of Lycra twats" No... cyclists are just normal people who enjoy riding their bikes. It's a great way to keep fit, lose weight, and save a few quid on the daily commute. The lycra is just propper cycling gear, it helps to move the sweat away from the skin and it's figure hugging nature means that it doesn't rub or chafe. Cal | |||

It's interesting to see that you saw fit to ignore the perfectly reasoned arguements regarding the highway code and its contents, and the questions regarding your choices on when to overtake slower moving vehicles etc. I also didn't call you names.... I said you talk bollocks. Eloquent bollocks I'll give you that but bollocks all the same. Why do entitled vehicle drivers think those who cycle have no idea that cars need to exist? I'd wager most (including me) also own a car and use it often. I don't think anyone arguing the point for cyclists have shown themselves to be pious or self righteous, they've just argued the case for being treated with respect and given the correct amount of space when legally cycling on the roads. Bananaman likes to call all cyclists 'angry' yet on every single cycling thread I've read and participated on here it is always the car drivers that get angry and make comments about how people won't be missed if they get killed cycling on the roads (nice sentiment btw  ) | |||

I will not comment further on this matter as I think that my points are clear and obvious and need no further clarity. Equally I have wasted far too much time & energy on such uncompelling and ordinary people..... Can I just point out that this thread was started as a cyclist bash by I assume a largely non cycling person...not the other way around. Not to take the moral high ground but the oil based economy has a lot to answer for... It was started by someone called Pussy Eater, that’s the level we are dealing with here." lol | |||

"Yeah, i don't get the hate on lycra, do you run up to guys wearing chelsea or arsenal tops and tell them they shouldn't wear them or play footy in the park whilst wearing them because they're not real professional footballers? Should people be ridiculed for buying rangerovers if they have no plans to explore the Serengeti?!" yes they should be ridiculed why not , why should people be exempt from ridicule Lycra is worthy of it, polystyrene headgear is worthy of it and driving a very expensive fuel guzzling 4x4 rangerover designed to go off road but soul driven on tarmac is worthy of it, I cycle but am not a conventional cyclist, I'm on fab but I don't regard myself as a conventional swinger. We as a group enjoy making assumptions about people based on what they say here but most people when you meet them are generally run of the mill nice ordinary people but cmon if we didn't take the mick that just wouldn't be playing the game | |||

"Some cycle lanes are not fit for purpose.... massive drain sinks in some, lamp posts in some and i frequently see cars driving in the ones on the side of the road. As a cyclist and a driver it annoys me when cyclists cycle down the side if a que of traffic at lights to get to the front then hold everyone up." That's called filtering, it is the benefit of using two wheels instead of 4. As both cyclists and motorcyclists can filter through stationary and slow moving traffic. | |||

Cause it was negative, at least have the bollocks to back it up !
Still butthurt? I thought you said those lycra shorts have comfort padding
I think its fine. You've shown that you're a gay sceptic before. You don't like gay men. You will use homosexual references as insults. We know that, you know that. The end.
My homosexual friends will be surprised to learn that then.
Your anti straight men agenda and insecurity is well known to me too
That's interesting. I was basing my theory on your unabashed promise to assault any man who you thought may have touched you inappropriately at a swinging club. Punching first, asking questions... Well never. So I'm intrigued to learn why you think i have an anti-straight agenda, and also what evidence you have to think i have an insecurity about, well I'm not sure to be honest. Please enlighten me.
Assault? You mean defend myself from sexual assault? Which seems to be perfectly acceptable for you as it's a swinging club.

What a vagina."There is a difference between using the forum to contact someone who you've blocked and 2 people commenting on the same subject. However, the question remains, how would i know?! Should i click on everyone's profile to see if they've blocked me! As far as i can tell the only person who tried to circumvent a ban in this instance was "the gentleman"! | |||

"Wow whats up with all the hatred against cyclists? You get one oh so stupid cyclist holding you up for a few and now we're all twats? Funny how no one says that about drivers or pedestians. A lil tolerance goes a long way.. ya twat "Actually, go back up the thread, I've criticised all road users. | |||

"While you boys get a room... Cyclists are fine on the whole (I cycle, but off road). On the road, most are great, but when they are going up a steep incline in (literally) first gear, then being 2 abreast is twatish in my view. Similarly, on a windy country road when they a perfectly aware they're causing a backup, why not apply common sense?" Two abreast is official advice & taught by Govt Approved cycle training agencies delivering Bikeability. Advice is to ride central on narrow roads to prevent dangerous overtakes & increase visibility. | |||

" Two abreast is official advice & taught by Govt Approved cycle training agencies delivering Bikeability.

However, when you've efficiently slowed the traffic to 6 miles an hour, it's probably safe to single up and let people by. That's the common sense bit. | |||

"From Highway Code rule 66: never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends." Which is advice, not law. Cycles may ride 3,4 even 5 abreast as there is no law prohibiting it. Case Law (Taylor V Goodwin 1879) denotes cycles as legally carriages & as such may use the full width of the lane. | |||

"Are cyclists just a load of Lycra twats I'm sure they don't *all* fall into that category but I have to admit that there does seem to be a disproportionate number of selfish cycling twats in Cambridge who seem to think it's perfectly okay to speed down pavements swearing at any pedestrian who has the temerity not to move out of their way instantly. It drives me mad when the city is *covered* in bloody cycle paths "Shove a stick in his/her front wheel that should take his/her mind off swearing for a minute or two | |||

"From Highway Code rule 66: never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends." Bikeability teaches Primary Position, and when to use it. When cycling around bends you should take Primary if the visibility is limited. Primary Position is defined as the outer third of the lane. | |||

"I got called a cunt yesterday by a bunch of guys going in the other direction. I was doing nothing wrong following the highway code. Some people just don't like cyclists, usually they are the same people who also hate horses, children,busses, runner's, or anyone who interrupts their oh so important lives. It's not cycling that gives us a bad reputation it's bad cyclists,same as bad driver's difference being a car driven by a twat is a deadly weapon." Hey a guy hit me on my bike side on on a roundabout luckily he was stopped and just moving off he pulled over and came over helped me up and said " sorry never saw you " I said well you could have killed me but luckily I'm fine and off he went | |||

"A cyclist will never admit they are in the wrong. Had 4 of them undertake ne in. 20mph zone yesterday, despite me signalling to turn left at the next road. Then within minutes another overtook me as I was turning right. Just idiots who have no knowledge of road safety and rules. By a bike get on the road, no training, no test no fucking sense. And they wonder why they get killed. " Funny I have cars doing the same to me when I am on a bike, I signal for a few yards to allow it to hit the troglodytes brain that I am going to turn left only to be ignored by the overtaking troglodyte. | |||

As some don't understand the basic rules of the road. | |||

There people go with this common sense, funny how if is used so much. Common sense is overrated, otherwise we wouldn't have the police, the fire brigade and the ambulance service as much. As if common sense worked, we wouldn't break the law, do stupid thibgs that injure us, or do stupid things that would set fire to things. | |||
