i reckon would cause a few fingers to be given maybe even some cross words but that would equal out with the smiles and thumbsup's

thanks Ben we dont always see eye to eye but when it matters we do

just swerve at em, watch them fall over trying to avoid a car with only one hand on the bars lol

I ride my bike to work quite often 15kms-ish from Newton to Mile End and back again.

I think it'd be ridiculous to lower speed limits that significantly! It would only create more congestion, which, believe it or not is a hassle for bike riders as well. lol

Oh, and I definitely think all bikes should be registered. For example, I was pulled over on my bike by a cop for running a red light (i was midway across the intersection when it turned green) - Anyways, dont wanna cause a flame debate on whether what i did was right/wrong dangerous/fine etc.

So yeah, he pulls me over, tells me not to do it and says "this is an official warning" - He didn't look at ID, he didn't even ask my name.

So next time I get an "official warning" theres absolutely no record of the first and I can keep doing it to my hearts content until i get an anal cop and get actually fined and learn my lesson. lol

I think bikes should be registered just like any other road vehicle and should be required to follow the rules just like any other road vehicle and policed just like any other road vehicle.

Ramble complete. lol.

Well said Adam...i do think that bikes that are on the road should be registered...as we drivers have to pay the duties etc...unless the cop did an ID check like u said you can keep running red lights and keep on the official first warning as there would be no record of an official warning before....which is plain stupid i reakon....

[oby12]

this is stupid i really hope this doesnt happen

[dangerman4]

he slower the speed limit between 2 points the more cars that will be on the road at any given time

therfore increasing the risk of accidents

Rann dosent agree with me but im not voting for him again so who cares what he thinks.

[Damo_R34]

so who cares what he thinks.

the majority of SA, unfortunately

[Madaz]

yeah i saw a bunch (15-20) of these aforementioned tools today riding up lwr nth east rd 8am taking up the whole lane riding towards the hills i only pity the poor drivers once they made it in the hills really made me think of my bumper sticker

[mid life crisis]

lower the speed limit be farked make the bastards pedel faster too keep up i reckon

[nisskid]

If they don't pay rego they don't deserve to be on the road, nor be a nuisance to paying motorists

even driving down moana yesterday, they were 4 abreast going down the mainstreet, coming up to a large rounadabout, they didnt give way or wait..they just pushed in and kept going...i have eight fingers, but i only used one when we passed them.

cocksarkers.

if people have to register bikes they wont ride them, sure they wont be in ur way but then ur gonna have a shitload more cars in ur way on the way to work, more traffic jams, less car parks etc. and what about the family people who go for weekend rides, i remember when i was younger it was a great joy of mine that me and my family would go for a ride together, if my old man had to register 5 pushbikes im damn sure we wouldnt of done it, ur gonna have more obease people, the bike industry will die, i ride bmx and downhill mtb and if the bike shops shut i wouldnt be able to get parts etc, i vote they just leave everything how it is, and just carry a sling shot for the road bike people who f**k u off!!!

thing is, people dont have a problem with your average cyclist commuter - they keep themselves alert, generally stick to the bike lane and obey the laws.

its the cadel evans wannabes in their lycra/spandex/body condoms that have the bad attitude and a self of entitlement - those are the fools that ride 3 abreast while having a good old fashioned mothers meeting while riding 40kph in a 60 zone.. its those guys who are truly giving the rest of the cyclists a bad name

-D

[Damo_R34]

yeah as Ben said, its just another case of the minority ruining it for the majority

[Madaz]

found this in the track days vs golf thread

[Krishy]

driving down the country highway yesterday had to get onto the oncoming lane as there were cyclist's riding 4 abreast in 5 groups.....i mean the cars are doing 110 kmph easily and to have to get into the oncoming lane i was just like WTF are you guys doing.....its a busy highway as well....as damo said minority ruining it for the Majority like RCK
