Cant see how cyclists can say they're not harming the planet, riding in bus lanes making buses go slower using more fossil fuel and making more greenhouse gases.
Until buses run on clean fuel cyclists are doing more harm to the enviroment than your average car driver. H |

A mate of mine from the club was pulled over for speeding.
On a bicycle. He was pushing 50mph in a 30mph zone. The copper didnt know what to do, he was about 19. Things werent helped by the rest of the club gathering around the incident falling about the place laughing, and shouting pieces of advice, like "lock him up". The cop asked him what the rush was, and he told him he "was trying to get break together". He sent us about our business eventually. |

This thread reads like a "we all hate cyclists" rant. I don't like that. I have been riding for the best part of 30 years. I can pretty much guarantee that if I were to cycle in London I would get through the traffic faster than I can on my SV - is that what causes the jealousy? |

And you are right Red Ones. The reason that bikers dont like cyclists, is the same reason that cagers dont like bikers. Jealousy. Dress it up however you like "Ohh oh, but they are breaking the law" BWAAA HA HA HA HA. I can just see all these concerned bikers crowding around the table... "I clocked 45 on the way over here" --stunned silence-- "Isn't the speed limit 40???" "I suppose..." "You mean, you mean... You BROKE THE LAW???" "I am sorry guys" "And your pipes... -Not For Road Use-??" "I'm so sorry guys" (Leaves bar crying.) |

I have nothing against cyclists in general, in the same way i have nothings against cagers or black cabs.
Saldy there are those in each of those groups who behave in ways that gives them all a bad rep. I gave up my car in london in favour of my mountain bike years ago. At the time i live in NW london, cricklewood to be sure, and the g/f live in Putney. I used to ride there and back daily sometimes and in ALL weather and i'll freely admit that i jumped reds when it was safe and clear to do so and rode on the pavment when it was empty enough and the roads were too gridlocked. Sweaty business tho eh?

I am like a magical water disappearing trick. All I do is pour water in my cake hole all day and night, and tadaaa... its gone. Vanished. I reckon I lose a kilo each commute. The heat here is no joke. |
