    I confess, I was on said "ballybog to ballynowhere" road weds last, my clubmate and I heard the shouting and the horn blowing, I dropped back to take a bottle and listen to the DS's words of wisdom......only then did I realise my mistake....

    Op, how long exactly did you wait before hitting your horn and making jestures to the riders?

    If only we had, I don't know, say something like a video, we could get those answers.

    Having followed this forum with great interest , the only conclusion I can draw is that 99.9% of cyclist,s are assholes.....

    Too right. All it takes is the cyclist to sneeze or a tyre to blow out, or any number of other incidents that no driver, no matter how superhuman their powers of observation can foresee.

    Bully-boy tic-tacs, eh? I haven't seen any of them before, do they look anything like the below ones, or are they the green ones?

    To be serious here, you are the original bully here, as evidenced by your OP, and can't seem to see the complete and utter irony and contradiction in terms that permeates your posts, e.g. you argue that you have an entitlement not to be held up, but disregard that the cyclists have an actual right to use the road without feeling intimidated, and your blowing the horn having pulled up behind them and gesturing can be construed as just such intimidation.

    LOL, post of the thread. :D


    Seriously think this thread is going to be locked unless that video is posted.

    OP, can you tell us why you won't post it? It has the evidence of most of what you said I am sure.

    I think I'd better close it here. Although OP if you want to post the video, pm me.
