Re: Cyclists riding 2 abreast on busy country roads
not so much in scotchland... the population up here has only grown by 1mil if that in the 20 years. its sad middle aged fekers whoz wives dont put out who have turned to sticking saddles up their arzes that are the problem and mostly by southerners who have migrated north.

Those sad middle aged fekers won't be clogging up the hospitals in the future, unlike the obese lardy unfit majority of our population.

I was talking about the double-white lines with a small area of hatching inside them. They're not very common, but it means that there's no exception for overtaking anything going less than 10mph with them. |

Re: Cyclists riding 2 abreast on busy country roads
It happened again yesterday for me - 3 cyclists abreast blocking a country lane having a nice chat. Couldn't they just have a picnic?

Re: Cyclists riding 2 abreast on busy country roads
As if by magic, two pedestrians walking with traffic yesterday. No overtake on due to oncoming so I didn't.

I'm not sure how you sit on your bike, but i sit on a saddle. Not sure how that's different to any Cyclist . . . .let alone how that's even relevant to where the Cyclists have come from. I'm pretty certain Scotland decided to stay part of the UK and not leave it. Cycling is a big industry, and brings in a lot of money to Scotland through Tourism; so no doubt a sizeable addition to the customers of Hotels & Restaurants. Places which now are probably struggling to survive due to the banning of travel and Holidays. Scottish GDP 2018 est 202 Billion Estimated economic from Cycling/attributed spend: 241M-362M https://transformscotland.org.uk/wp/...ull-report.pdf |
