About time too!

Women with children think they can occupy the whole road and stuff everyone else.

Mrs BP used to live a long way from twins primary school. It was always women who would try to run her down while crossing the road. White van man left space for her and the twins.

I suppose its an extension of the family courts. Women get all the power and any man who doesn't do what he is told when he is told to do it is a sexist.

Have you noticed the way some women push buggies out first when crossing the road to get you to stop? Oddly the men I've seen don't push buggies out but do take up the entire fecking pavement.

I used to have a bike seat for baby bp. Great fun. Until he got too big and tried to lean left when I was leaning right. Not great fun if you are passing a parked car.....

The best one I saw was some bint standing and waiting to cross the road, she shot daggers at a guy with a cigarette to the left of her, prior to shunting the kid next to a cars exhaust in the traffic.

Bikes are for riding, not for carrying on trains. I hate these ****ers who get on a crowded bus or train with their bike and the next thing you know is you've got grease and mud on your trousers.

Well blame the ROCs then not the cyclists.

If they brought back the guard's van, you wouldn't have to worry about exposing your lilywhite ass to our dirt and grime.

Anyhow, getting covered in mud and oil seems par for the course when you ride ATW whether or not a bike is involved. But I guess you're not in Wales?

I do admit a few years ago after emergency stopping for lots of them, seeing a woman doing it at a supermarket crossing I drove straight through. She looked sooo shocked.

Though I think she learnt a lesson that day because I'm sure I saw her again and she didn't do that.

I normally stop at zebra crossings or crossing places in the road if I see people wanting to cross and no other vehicle is right up my ass as other people though mostly men do that for me.

Sorry, I don't agree.

When you have people towing their children in bike trailers over busy roundabouts during rush hour it's imperative that they are given priority.

No, don't agree with that at all.

If I were a parent there's no way I would but my kids in a bike trailer and take it on the ROAD.
Reckless and irresponsible are the only two words I can think of which won't fail the sweary filter.
By all means put your own life at risk, but when you put your kids lives at risk you get no sympathy from me.

You should, pedestrians have priority on zebra crossings.

One went through on the inside while I was waiting a red light at a pedestrian crossing yesterday.

Certainly if a vehicle overtakes a cycle just before turning at a junction they are to blame but not if they are already stopped and signalling when the cyclist goes on the inside. Adults should always be expected, as a point of principle, to take responsibility for their own decisions.

Well try getting onto a crowded train with an 8 foot long cycle with a fairing and try not looking like your trying to use your bike as an offensive weapon.

None of it's intentional - some of us just need a little bit more real estate and it's about time the ROCs addressed the issue.

Two choices here:
1 - buy a car for the whole journey, thus avoiding the train altogether.
2 - get a lift / taxi / bus or walk to the station.

And you know where you can stick your sense of moral entitlement.

There is other choices chosen by people in my area:
3. Cycle the entire way to your destination and back.
4. Cycle to the station and lock your bike up there and get on the train without it.

You should, pedestrians have priority on zebra crossings.

Only if they step on them.

Most people aren't that dumb due to the couple that have been killed.
