Fooking cyclists!

[sasguru]

Some completely arrogant and thick koonts with a sense of entitlement and some of them deserve to have an accident because of their crass stupidity.
They've even made blue lanes for them here in S. London and still the cretins insist on riding in mobs in the middle of the road.
Other things I have observed: 50% of them run red lights, some of them (the women usually) are idiotic enough to constantly ride in the blind spot of vans and lorries thus making them vulnerable to traffic turning left*, pulling out in the middle of the road without indicating etc. etc.
It's clear there needs to be some sort of cycling profiency test.

*As a motorcylist this is something I realy look out for.

Should we have it before or after the spelling test?

Should we have it before or after the spelling test?

Probably after the "financial responsibility" test.

I've cycled to work in London for years - I agree it's mainly women that undercut trucks and vans. I find it amazing how little spacial awareness people have. Running red lights is occasionally safer than obeying them, especially if you are going right at a roundabout but I don't condone it. The blue lanes are OK but riding in the middle of the road or not in single file is just plain selfish.

You're only a motorcyclist if you have a motorcycle.

An imaginary Hyabusa doesn't count.

It's no safer for bikers out in the country.

As someone who avoided jumping on the self certified 5x earnings 100% mortgage bandwagon and instead opted to save a proper deposit I suspect I might get quite good marks in that.

Well sasguru, enlighten us.
You have already stated that you require more than one spare lane to overtake vehicles on the motorways.
How many spare lanes do you need to negotiate your way around female cyclists in the urban setting?



It might help if you got yourself another cushion to sit on. That way you may be able to see over the top of the steering wheel.

I like women on bicycles. They tend to have nice legs.
