Cyclists?

[acsplit]

Cyclists are a road user same as cars, motocyclists, pedestrians etc. The public road system is for all road users. Respect the fact that your fellow human being is unprotected and give them the same/more respect as any other road user. As a regular cyclist, I see the unsolicited angst against cyclists all the time. There is no need for hero car drivers to brush past you with 3" clearance, blast the horn, rev limit your diesel and haze us in black smoke. So understandably we get upset as you are potentially trying TO KILL US !!

You might be just f**king around but it is the cyclist that will be in hospital or dead. Think about that a little.

Dont ever try this shit on me as if you happen to get caught at a red light...I'm dragging you out of your car and beating the @#$% out of you as a lesson.(about once a month on average and the heroes are invariably spineless cowards that whimper alot)

So chill and show the cyclists some respect, it may just be someone you know.

I was waiting for you to see this thread, I used to be a cyclist and I still show more respect to cyclists on the road than most useless motorists. Give them some space they are entilted to the road too.

Make the Bastards pay rego, Green slips ( after all they can hit and injure people too ) and make the bikes wear a numberplate and have to go for rego inspections just like all of us every 12 months.

That's what happens in some countries eg., China.

Cyclist runs a red light kills a pedistian 200 buck fine. A motorist Jail minimum!

I think the legal system obviously thinks that motorists have greater rights to be on the road to cyclists as there penalities are harsher.

Jeez, cyclist vs pedestrian is just not a good accident to be in. You know no-one can come out of that without serious/paralyzing injuries

Flatten then, every one of them. If I had a steam roller I'd take on Beach Road and Mornington every weekend - nah just taking the piss.

What does REALLY shit me it the fact that they want equal rights but SO MANY do not obey the road rules - running red lights etc!!!
