Well said.
Drivers who also cycle make better drivers than those who don't.

In what way are they yours?
And most of the cyclists I know have a drivers licence.

Because they can't be arsed breaking and having to build up momentum again with their scrawny legs.
I saw a woman crossing at a pedestrian green light and a dickhead courier cyclist went flying through a red and nailed her. She was hurt pretty bad. Since I heckle the knobheads who go through reds. If any decide to stop then I'd happily let them know my thoughts. Want to ride on the roads then follow the rules!
I don't mind most cyclists and always look out for them whenever I'm driving but the wannabe lycra racers really do ride like dickheads.

Hopefully in this instance everyone involved is unharmed z

And we driver/cyclists are much more considerate to other road users be they cyclists or fellow motorists. In fact, I'm just gonna be some time - I have to polish my halo!

Here's a novel idea for cyclists, when out at night why not fix some form of lighting to your bike, that way people on the pavement can at least have half a chance of avoiding you.

Does your pathological hatred of cyclists have it's roots in your childhood?
Perhaps you were the only kid on the street you never got to take his stabilisers off. Or perhaps that tricycle you were riding at 18 was a source of some derision.
Either way it is time for some therapy.
Ride a bike, with as many lights on as you want, through Manchester today and enjoy the courtesy and goodwill extended to you by car drivers.
If you make it back in one piece we would love to hear from you.
But not before.
