"Mow down a pedestrian". Sounds fun, but a quick ring of my very, very camp sounding bell, and the pedestrian is aware of me being there.de niro said:Bluemoon115 said:Numpty old drivers who passed their driving tests "back in the day" make it impossible to cycle on some roads.de niro said:they don't ride on the road though do they, half the ***** ride on the pavement. shitbags.
The amount of times I've been cut up in stupid situations by some daft old ****, who would never try such a manoeuvre if it was an oncoming car/lorry, it's ridiculous.
oh I see, you should have said. so lets mow down a pedestrian because car drivers scare you.

On a serious note, really hope the rider isnt too badly hurt.

Hopefully in this instance everyone involved is unharmed z

If it is OK to drive a car onto the pavement and leave it there for hours why should cycling on it for a few minutes be a problem, especially as the number of pedestrians who are killed every year by motorists as they walk along the pavement is considerable and the number killed by cyclists is so low/zero in most years the government doesn't even have any figures on it.
Cyclists are an insignificant problem on our roads compared to the minority of nerdy pretend racing drivers who seem to think the public roads are a place to show off their dismal driving skills in their mass produced motors as they journey to and from their crap jobs or the supermarket.
Sadly I'm not at all surprised by the reaction of some of the morons on here. That's a lot of the problem: people don't realise how vulnerable cyclists are.Ducado said:And the backfiring thread of the year goes to.........................
You've summed it up brilliantly urmston.urmston said:Given the huge amounts of death, injury and destruction caused by motorists and the tiny amount caused by cyclists any policeman spending any of his shift specifically looking for badly behaved cyclists should be dismissed as incompetent and for wasting public money.
There aren't many mums sat at home dreading Christmas because their son or daughter has been killed by a cyclist this year.
