Totally agree they should be banned from the roads.
1. They ride through red lights or mount the pavement to get through a junction
2. They don't have to have insurance (& yes they do hit things and scrape along cars)
3. They are slow and couldn't give a toss who is behind them
4. They cause pollution by being slow and holding up traffic that has to speed up to pass them and then pull in safely again.
5. I thought some bikers clothing was pretty hideous but cyclists take this to a new level.
6. They don't have to have any form of mot so a bike doesn't have to be roadworthy
7. They don't pay tax but like to bleat and complain about the state of the roads
Well that's my rant over. Lets hope I see a cyclist on the way home tonight
Lucky I'm not cycling tonight then but on my bike, hopefully I get a nod rather than a one finger salute ; )
It's interesting to see all cyclists 'tarred with the same brush' as bikers often do with (cage) drivers as well, of course we would hate it if cyclists or drivers did the same for us
When I berate cyclists it is specifically the lycra clad, carbon fibre riding little "peddle Nazis" that seem to go far out of their way to cause obstruction, often complete with helmet cam ready to post some heavily edited video online of the results of their intentional rudeness. Unfortunately they are increasingly common on the back roads around here. There are plenty of cyclists who don't act that way but unfortunately the dickhead minority seems significant enough the tar brushing is inevitable.
Chris - are you trying to say I don't count as a proper cyclist? Not sure which is most offensive; you thinking I'm not a proper cyclist as I wouldn't look good in lycra or the thought of you thinking about me dressed in lycra ; )
You got me, I was letting imagination and a sense of fair play get the better of me for a minute. Now where's my bucket of tar and that bloody great fence brush?
Riding two abreast on country roads for one
That's insane.
I love the fact that they wear lycra and mitmot helmets. It completes the "I'm an arsehole" look
I do ride a push bike but being a considerate person I keep off of the roads and stick to towpaths and cycle paths leaving the roads to vehicles more suited to them.
While I'm at it, horses should be banned from the roads as well
For the record it's this type of cyclists that I don't like
The normal people out there using a bike as transport are usually ok........ ish

People say similar about motorcyclists on cycling forums complete lack of tolerance for others in this country
