And yet here you are giving your two pence :)It really doesn't it just shows that a percentage of people are either selfish or stupid and that's about it. It makes no difference whether they are travelling on legs or wheels of any number.
The only difference is if someone opens a thread on bad car drivers you don't tend to get a load of car drivers deflecting onto other road users. It's more yeah some people are twats or useless.
Cyclists tend to be far more sensitive to criticism for some reason. They take it very personally for some reason like its an insult to them as an individual
The funniest cyclists are those that quote the highway code, not the parts that relate to cyclists mind because as they know these are routinely ignored by a lot of cyclists.
It's basically people being people and reacting negatively to any criticism of 'their side' which is sad but not new.
Why is that a problem?The single file cyclists don’t need to ride in the centre of the road forcing the entire of the overtaking car onto the opposite side of the road
I think this might stem from a position of vulnerability compared to a motorist and 'senses' are heightened when you are atop yer saddle with cars passing. There's one point on roads where I am particularly aware and that is where you have a central refuge often with a green lane at the gutter with a white bike sign. I think the set up is to warn drivers that it isn't particularly a good idea to overtake the cyclist at this point. But there's more than a handful that do! And you can touch the car if you had a mind to as it passes!It really doesn't it just shows that a percentage of people are either selfish or stupid and that's about it.

Maybe you should do the same before starting threads about how our season is over before Christmas.Read the highway code and engage your brain before next picking up your car keys.
Wrong.Not on a single country lane it isn’t.
By unbiased people certainly.By biased cyclists perhaps
Pmsl

There's no harm in highlighting people's outdated, incorrect or even sometimes dangerous opinions on road use. Think of it as a public service we're providing. Honestly i'm just surprised "road tax" hasn't reared it's ugly head.
I don't think the Highway Code says anything about City's title chances but I'll double check.Maybe you should do the same before starting threads about how our season is over before Christmas.
Yes it is.Not on a single country lane it isn’t.
Wait... you're defending other road users from criticism from bike users in the same way cyclists, on a thread intended to criticise cyclists, defend cycling as a mode of transport from criticism.I am like I would on a car thread or a lorry one etc.. Or even a pedestrian thread for that matter. It's you that decided to post about car drivers ability when you know every road or pavement user has the ability to be a twat.
I have used pretty much everything on the road and I walk. I just ain't so insecure that criticism of any single group makes me so defensive.
