The anti road cycling thread

[Metal Biker]

Cars and pedestrians should not share the same roads. Cars and horses shouldn't. Cars and donkeys. Cars and oxen. Cars and bicycles. Cars and tricycles. Cars and scooters. Etc etc.

Cars (and motobikes) are too dangerous. I don't know how people cycle these days. When I was young ot was grand cos there were far less cars.

Easy solution then. Get rid of the cars, and allow pedestrians, horses, donkey's, oxen, bicycles, tricycles, scooters and motorcycles to ride the roads in peace, harmony and safety.

The majority of drivers are so distracted by ICE/satnav/phones/unergonomic or overly complicated controls, or they are utterly reliant on car safety features that they forget the basics of actually driving their 2 tonne motorised metal boxes safely.

Agreed mate. Not a place I would like to be driving a bicycle.

I have absolutely no problem with cyclists, except when they ride two abreast, breaking with protocol, chatting away, not giving a fuck about those they are delaying.

Then they are cunts.

Not on a single country lane it isn’t.

Either on a single country lane or a dual carriageway, you're supposed to overtake bikes at the exact same distance you would a car. 1.5 metres or 5 feet.

Most drivers see single file riders and overtake way too close. Two abrest discourages that sort of action. It's about safety, i'm sure wherever you are going isn't as important as the safety of another road user.

Not always, but sometimes it is done defensively to deter an otherwise unsafe overtake, such as on the brow of a hill, a blind bend or approaching a junction/intersection.

New to the internet ?
You’re in for a rough if a picture of a cyclist has triggered you

Easy wasn't it. Every "anti-cycling" argument is easily shot down in flames.

By biased cyclists perhaps
