Was There Any Need For This

[TWR]

Arrogance? just fitted front Suspension Springs to my car & taking it to try out, there a long lane near where I live & that's where I went, two cyclist pulled over to let me past, I said thank you by hooting, then I cam across any other two, one was a gent who pulled over but the other, what a right rshole, I was not pushing but would this clown pull over? no wonder Some Cyclists have a bad name, in the end with enough space I passed this knob, with the passenger said window down thanked the clown for being a right dick, this is not aimed at the majority of cyclist, but to some that pay nothing towards the up-keep of roads, Moan over.

Me too. Some of them don't leave their brain at home and some haven't got one.

O god you werent driving that white taxi from the news a few days ago ?

[ummmm]

You are assuming then that they don't have a car.

I don't see why cyclists should pay towards the upkeep of our roads...it's not them damaging them.

I don't think your scenario would bother me. I wish I had the same amount of patience day to day as I do when I'm in the car.

A very small number of cyclists pee me right off. They don't pay rego fees hence contribute nothing to the maintenance of roads, have no insurance, whether it be personal and/or property yet seem to think they own the road and are quick to abuse over any trivial little thing.

In saying that the majority are very decent with their activity, it's the few that destroy things for the rest of the road users.

Did mot see / hear about that Peter??

No domestic vehicle does significant damage to the roads. These things need maintenance anyway. And it was a filthy government trick to legislate in order to pretend road fund licence wasn't for the roads any more so they could plunder the tax for other things. There is no excuse for any vehicle user of the roads not contributing.

Meanwhile this conflict could go away if government became responsible and discouraged the dangerous practice of taking vulnerable human powered vehicles onto public roads. Unfortunately politicians fail to take their responsibilities seriously.

When I am cycling I only pull over to let cars pass if I feel intimidated. Any car driver using their horn to 'thank' me would receive a one finger salute, a simple hand held aloft is quite enough.

You were lucky he wasn't a "Cycle-Path"!

Sorry TWR, just had to post this ;-).
The Aussie version of the old Mungo Jerry song.
There are a few classic old Aussie cars to be seen in the clip.
Hope you enjoy.

The 'small minority give the rest a bad name' can be applied to just about every section of society from motorists to muslims, to Christians to football fans to immigrants to teenagers etc etc.
