Sorry cyclists, there's no room for you anymore

Way to get peoples hopes up OP.

Ruu · 15-09-2015 05:16PM

I agree lets ban roads.

blackbird 49 · 15-09-2015 05:33PM

While there are assholes of cyclists, what about the assholes of drivers who think you don't have to move around cyclists but cut in as close as possible and frighten the s**t out of you. France knows how to do it properly was there at the beginning of September for a week with my husband we brought our bikes, a week of sheer pleasure cycling on roads and not having to worry about traffic, the few roads we did travel on with traffic passed you by very carefully, A really enjoyable week

Cyclists have got to be the worst people on the face of the earth. They think they own the road, cycling 2 abreast on busy roads is asking for trouble. I've lost count of the amount of rows I've had with these self righteous idiots. I can do what I want in my car because I pay road tax. End of story.

You sound like a dickhead to be honest.

What a load of bull! Ban cars from citys/towns as it solve two problems polution and possibly obesity as people would walk and cycle everywhere instead of driving short distances!

Beasty · 15-09-2015 05:39PM

So, take the cyclists off the road - let them all drive to work instead - yeah that's going to free up road space and solve all our problems:rolleyes:

Cycling two abreast on busy roads is entirely legal though.

I also pay road tax but I can't afford to drive to work. Cycling to work takes a full hour off my day (over going by public transport) so cycling is a no brainer for me.

Plus it's fun and a great way to maintain fitness.

I think a better plan would be to drive over all vehicles parked in cycle lanes with a big tank. That'd make more room on the roads for cyclists.

Knasher · 15-09-2015 06:16PM

Bring back horses I say. We had none of these problems before cars, when everybody used horses instead.

Admittedly we did have other problems, like horse crap on the roads, but I assume they've solved that by now.

That's my point. I get annoyed when I see the government strategy on cycling. You'd swear driving a car was on the decline. If anything, it's the opposite. Then you have the prats who wear the professional looking cycling gear and they are cycling two and three abreast on busy roads. It's all an accident waiting to happen

I agree. But what really gets me annoyed is seeing these Sunday league football players wearing clothing appropriate to what they're doing. Thinking they're pro footballers or something with their shorts, jerseys and football boots. They should be wearing 3 piece suits, the goalie could even wear a tophat and monocle to stand out.

It's not a bike either..

Are cyclists aloud to weave in and out of cars? It's very fustrating on the quays in the morning. Also if you are in a car and turning left and there us a cyclist going straight on behind you, do you let them off?

I bloody hate cyclists.

Yes cyclists have the right of way in that situation!

Yes. They have right of way.

Always check yer mirrors kids.

Massimo Cassagrande · 15-09-2015 06:34PM

It'll be winter soon. Winter tends to cull the quantity of cyclists. Only the real hard core of nutters cyclists decide to continue with their bicycling during the long, dark days of lashing rain and cold. This is a good thing. Overtaking a gaggle of Lance Armstrong wannabes three abreast and ten deep is both dull and fraught. They should not be further encouraged, they'll only get ideas.

Have you tried checking your mirrors when turning left or right, or are you an incompetent driver?

The King of Moo · 15-09-2015 06:40PM

Just the other day I was cycling, and I saw two cars go through a light that had just turned red without even checking to see if anyone was coming from the side in a car, or crossing the road.
Every day I see something like this happen, and I'm amazed drivers don't cause more accidents!!
I think it's about time we banned cars. Think about, bikes are smaller, so removing cars from the roads would mean space for lots more cyclists. Bikes are also slower, so there's fewer chances of serious accidents, and obviously they're better for the environment.
Sorry drivers, but it's time to say goodbye.

The King of Moo · 15-09-2015 06:43PM

Just the other day I was cycling, and I saw two pedestrians cross at a red light without even checking for traffic in either direction.
Every day I see something like this happen, and I'm amazed pedestrians don't cause more accidents!!
I think it's about time we banned walking. Think about, there are about 7 billion people in the world, so imagine how much space they take up when they cross the road! Removing pedestrians from the roads would mean space for lots more cyclists.
With pedestrians safely removed from the roads, there'd be fewer people for cyclists to hit too.
Sorry pedestrians, but it's time to say goodbye.

VRT, Car Tax, Fuel Duty, Tolls etc etc... the economy would die on its bum if you removed cars. Bicyclists contribute feck all bar an uptick in Lycra sales after the Tour de France is televised each year and a few bob on puncture patches.

sweetie · 15-09-2015 06:45PM

Yeah ban the cyclists, then when they drive their cars every day and the roads get further clogged we can then ban the drivers starting with the elderly and foreigners, moving on to the women and finally the red heads. I love it when a plan comes together!

Would you really put the cost of some petty taxes about above the cost of our children's lives!!?? :eek:
Sorry, but these cars, or "KILLMATONS," are just too dangerous to have on our roads. We can tax trouser clips and puncture-repair kits instead, it'll be fine.

And think about how great it'd be to have the roads free of all those middle-aged Sunday drivers with their car keys and sunglasses and polyester driving suits who think they're professional drivers. :rolleyes:

Ah, that's so much better. Couldn't enjoy the rudeness with all that broken grammar.

Cold War Kid · 15-09-2015 07:01PM

Some cyclists are indeed obnoxious on the road with their self entitlement, but I can't understand why people constantly use this minority to tar the whole lot of them. It's an invalid argument when that's resorted to.

Banning private cars off the roads is the most effective way of making the roads safer, cleaner and cheaper. Even the leftiest greens in the world wouldn't touch that one though. Pussies.

Without cars vans trucks and buses we wouldn't need road at all. Think of all the trees we could plant and hippies we could house in the space formerly taken up by roads.
