It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

[Carlos]

I'm sorry you had to experience that Gav. Driver has posted his video up now!

[nuttinnew]

Age restricted but I clicked to watch on yt and the quick still was enough to know

Gavster; did you ride too close to someone crossing the road?

[mik]

erm.

[MikeHunt]

It reminds me of how my dog watches every mouthful I eat.

[Mito Man]

I saw someone swerving all over the place a few days ago, as I drive alongside them I see they’re double fisting a Bic Mac

[Ascender]

erm.

So if he's sitting with the handbrake on, not moving, in stationary traffic, whilst eating and puts it down before moving off, what's the offence? Driving without due care and attention?

[nuttinnew]

A good point may have been made but " Rice And Stew Very Plenty " and TRAFFIC DROID (+effects)? Fro.
I bet Mikelingpsyche and Jermy Vein are raging someone it's not their vid.

[mik]

Lets have a slight departure.

Link includes vid and some commentary as food for thought.




edit: not sure that works for non-twitter users? This is the original post with vid

[Jobbo]

But Mik, there are no bicycles involved. Why should we froth about? Poor pedestrians who should be wearing helmets and dressed like the Michelin Man so they can be skittled by taxis? Or poor put-upon taxi drivers like that nice Fred Housego?

[Beany]

Maybe try walking to see how difficult it is sometimes with 12 seconds to cross the road at lights.

I did, for some eight years, it's really not difficult.

Was that guy dropped on his head as a child? Like, a lot?

A cyclist said spikes on the railings at St Oswald's Church in Fulford were "dangerous"

So they are looking at either removing the spikes or having balls welded onto the end of them

I’d just put up a “cyclists dismount” sign and be done with it

[Matty]

Why only cyclists? Are they frequently trying to jump over them, Evel Knievel style?

The article reads like it’s a single cyclist who complained and now something MUST be done about it

[Mito Man]

They should faceplant right into the railings on purpose to prove a point. Will probably get a whole page in one of the tabloids too with a full compo face going on.

And some sort of medal from Jeremy whine

Jeez. I see a lot of posts from cycling extremists now on twitter (and as many replies to their posts from furious anti-cycling extremists of course), but using the very recent death of Kelvin Kiptum to "prove" your belief is pretty low. Intentionally added as a link rather than embedding. Bizarre.

[Beany]

Good lord, someone call the circus, they've misplaced their lead clown.

[NGRhodes]

Irrational posting history, best left alone for the sake for their mental health.
