Yes, there may be some who have actually read the Highway code and understand how it applies to them. There may even be some who wear light reflective clothing and (shock horror!) bother to fit a light to their bike and use it when it's dark, but I've never seen one. Instead, they swerve all over the place, refuse to use hand signals and completely ignore such things as traffic lights and pelican crossings. Then, when it finally gets too much for them they just ride on the pavement and scream abuse at you when you don't get out of the way quick enough. I'd just to make it quite clear that (as has happened a couple of times in the past couple of years)if you nearly ride me down then my adrenaline levels will rise and when you start screaming your tirade at me - I will slap you. London was bad for this, Edinburgh is ten times worse. <BR/>Put cycle lanes on all the roads by all means, bring back the cycling proficiency test and fine the bloody users who don't stick to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-85313824847844201702008-03-16T20:27:00.000-07:002008-03-16T20:27:00.000-07:00bicyclers are all over college towns. i swear, i'm...bicyclers are all over college towns. i swear, i'm glad i don't live in one any longer cause i'd so side-swipe one of those little morons. they think they're so untouchable.<BR/><BR/>i hate people who stop in the middle of the road to talk too. <BR/><BR/>p.s. i'm now blind from all this talk of beast's naked booty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-64545811287107802152008-03-16T05:27:00.000-07:002008-03-16T05:27:00.000-07:00Maybe you can rig a hockie stick or something to s...Maybe you can rig a hockie stick or something to swing out on the passenger side and whap those guys as you pass them (if you ever get to).

But on the blessed rare occasion that there IS a bike lane, it's wonderful. I know where I'm supposed to be, the cars know where they're supposed to be, and we all live happily ever after.<BR/><BR/>Here in the UK you often find roads where there is a bike lane that abruptly stops. Just ends, for no reason. You're going along all lah-di-dah, and then... nothing. So you carry on, in the street, and then the bike lane magically re-appears 200 feet later. And then disappears again. And reappears. It's fecking odd, i tell you.Moominmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750304448922417139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-13559044463029649062008-03-16T01:19:00.000-07:002008-03-16T01:19:00.000-07:00cb - No, they really, really, really do not have a...cb - No, they really, really, really do not have a right to be there if they like living. Neither do motorcycles, large trucks, semis....it's a very fucking dangerous road! I'm scared to drive it in rain, fog, frost, mildly overcast weather, wind (oh god ESPECIALLY wind)... you get the idea. If you've ever been to the Pacific Coast of the US you know what I mean, it's very typical of that highway style. Scary as hell, no guardrails built since the WPA, and dangerous as all fuck.<BR/>Maybe google search an image?
