  1. I see your point

    There are quite a few people on here that don't like cyclists.
    As a keen cyclist I generally disagree.....until now.

    Driving to work this morning down a lane, with parked cars on my right, I saw a cyclist coming towards me with his daughter on the crossbar. Naturally I assumed he would stop behind the obstruction on his side of the road 1. Because I was already coming through and 2. BECAUSE ITS THE LAW!!!
    How wrong I was.
    He plowed on, trying to squeeze through the gap then punched my brand new, £22,000 van.

    This idiot not only endangered his life but that of his daughter then somehow blamed me.
    Unfortunately people like him give the rest of us a bad name.
    When he gets out of hospital I hope he acts in a more courteous manner towards other road users.

    Being a dick head is independent to the mode of transport you use, the colour of your skin, the language you speak, your sexual orientation, your star sign or any other grouping - there are dick heads from all works of like, always have been, always will be. Fortunately the ratio of dick heads to 'normal' people is relatively small ; )

    I had a similar experience myself the other day with a fella cycling with a little girl on the handlebars, I'm sure if we were to do that on a motorcycle we would get the book thrown at us!

    As a cyclist I would agree with everyone except Ken

    HaHa ha Graeme. On a serious note. Coming back from attending a funeral in Scotland last Saturday we pulled into a services. There were 4 disabled bays at the entrance of which 2 were occupied by vehicles with disabled drivers The remaining 2 by 2 motorbikes, 1 in each bay. As Trev rightly points out, the users of no particular mode of transport hold a monopoly on dickheadity. They come in all forms.

    They could have been disabled riders, might have been NABD members. Could have at least shared a bay though...

    That was my thoughts Judy, could have shared a bay.
