Haha, nearly got him!

Did notice that for the whole road before the roundabout he was cycling in the middle of the road!

Haha! love it! - http://www.youtube.com/user/BadSwind...37/M5oTCUweBH0

He's cycling in a bus lane with a cycle lane empty next to it and he still thinks he's in the right!!

Makes me want to go to Swindon and give him something to moan about

zippy656 · 15-02-2011, 06:47

clivvy · 15-02-2011, 09:16

whats he on about?? LOADS of room there, jesus. if he was in the cycle lane lines, he'd have had less room than that Terrano gave him, so I dont know who he thinks he is, tosser!

zippy656 · 15-02-2011, 09:36

Road use should be limited to 4x4's, Vans and LGV's.

Cars and Bikes need to be taxed off the road.

The bike should give way to the vehicle paying to use it

Cycle Utilising Nimby Twonks?

You are all forgetting God's on his/her side..

Why else wouldn't they not have to pay any road tax, insurance or mot..

At least cycles don't shi* in the road! Nothing worse than spending the morning scrubbing up the old motor to find a pile of fresh "horse manure" right in the road as you go for a run. I think horses and cyclists should share the same path.They deserve each other.

Aha. I'm a cyclist as well as a 4x4 driver.

Tax. Vehicle Excise Duty goes into general taxation (along with income tax and other forms of tax) roads are paid for out of general taxation. So car drivers are not "paying" for any "right" to be on the road. In fact, if that cyclist earns more than you (and lots of cyclists are professional people), he or she is paying more income tax, so contributing a higher proportion to road building and repairs. Using that argument, a cyclist could have more "right" to be there than a car driver.

Cycle lanes. We don't have to use them. In fact if we are intending to travel quickly the Highway Code recommends that we do NOT use them.

Overtaking a cyclist. Cars are supposed to give cyclists as much room as if they were overtaking another car. Not squeeze desperately past, cut in because something is coming the other way, and then brake sharply because there is a line of traffic anyway ...

Roundabouts. After one-way systems, roundabouts present a huge challenge to a cyclist. We can't go nearly as fast as cars, yet, we still have to change lanes to get to the exit we want. We can't go on the pavement because car drivers will tut and shake their heads, so into the road we go... and do you think any cars will slow down to let us manoeuvre? Not on your life. So when you think we are "riding in the middle of the road", actually we are changing lanes. If I stayed in the nearside lane on every roundabout I would only ever be able to turn left.

Oh, and I stop at red lights. Even pedestrian ones when there is no-one crossing and no-one waiting to cross.

Nice one. Now I feel ashamed for being afraid to say it. I got told I was wrong and provided with a lot of statistics about my stance on speeding last time I went against popular opinion

and pretty much the same argument applies to horses, if it weren't for horse drawn transport we would have no road system (or green lanes) in the first place
