Is there any Road Etiquette among cyclist.

SSII

So I noticed that a lot of the cyclist I see daily lack any sort of common sense and road etiquette. Jumping through led lights, failing to give way for other cars to ease traffic,blocking pedestrian crossing, clogging up the ongoing cycle lane at a stop light( if they don't go through the red light ) and the list goes on.
Do you thing this behavior increasing or is it just me?

It's like when you get a car, you notice the same type of car all over. It's as present as it ever was, you're just noticing it more.

People are bastards, with bastard filling. Not excusive to cyclists I'm afraid.

Except for salmon cycling. They seem to own that.

Apparently the search function doesn't work until a new user has 10 posts.

Maybe a city centre problem? I don't see any traffic lights on my spins out in Meath

Goddam cyclists breaking red lights. Goddam cyclists stopping at red lights.

Goddam cyclists looking at the lights instead of the road.

I've been on both sides of this fence. There's usually one or two cyclists every day who cycle like pri***. There's usually a few more drivers who drive like **icks . There's no such thing as all cyclists are bad or all drivers are bad. People are just c**ts. Nothing new here .

Let's close this before all hell breaks loose

OP, maybe you should consider whether you have anything positive to contribute to the forum, as to date all your "contributions" to date have been quite negative

You might also want to go through this recent thread which should tell you everything you need to know about Cycling etiquette:)
