Strange really isn't it, bikers hate walkers, horses, cars, cyclists, HGVs, because no-one else is considerate to us. Go on a horse forum, and you'll find it's everyone other than horse riders that should be banned from the road, on a cycling forum all traffic should be banned, well, you get the idea don't you....

Perhaps if the minority of each of these groups that are so short tempered became a little more tolerant to everyone else, then the rest of us would have a far more pleasant life sharing the roads with everyone else who uses them.

There are lots of horses, cyclists,walkers and caravans around where I live, and with narrow roads that aretwisty and unlit at night, passing can sometimes be pain. So just chill and enjoy a moment to enjoy the views, sometimes life can be better taken that little bit slower. :cool:

Can I have a puff of what you smoke please?:cool:

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits

I'm a biker and also a hiker. Love both of the persuits. Once when I was out in the countryside, I head what I think was a Triumph Bonneville accelerate through the road in nearby woods. I grinned.

BLOODY MOANING RAMBLERS, go walk in the woods or hills.

We do walk in the woods and hills buster, but unfortunately sometimes we also have to walk on the roads, not by choice but by necessity. it's not illegal so why do so many cage and bike riders think they have the right to blast past at silly speeds instead of slowing down, trying to clean their machines on our trousers. All that is called for is a bit of common sense and courtesy, sadly lacking in some cases. I also get stupidity whle on our pony as well but that's another story. Perhaps you ought to stop posting if you can't post anything decent.

Let's all just hug and make up.

And here's me thinking this thread was going to be about a brand of crisps!

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits

Cant remember where i heard or read (maybe MCN) about the possibility that some roads would be closed to bikes altogether?

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits

Oh drat, I didn't want to upset anyone with my walker rant in this thread, so to those that bike and hike, especially DarrylB who defended his pastime with such vigour and aplomb, I apologize Sir. Anyone who can spend more on top quality hiking gear than I could on my Motorbike gear gets my respect.

No more rants, sweeping statements or generalizations from me.

Hikers and Bikers have in fact a common enemy, we should unite against the Farmers. Those straw sucking, fat, red faced, manure spreading, over subsidized bumpkins who spread muck over the racing line and work to keep others of their "private land", with unsightly stone walls, overcomplicated gates and *****ly hedgerows, should be made to open up their fields to bikers and hikers and give us back our countryside. More grass tracking, scrambling, rambling and hiking is what I say. Sheep and Rape seed? Who needs 'em.

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits

Im having a proper crisis here, I enjoy Cars, Motorbikes, Green laning, Cycling, Walking, Jet skiing, power boats, sailing, Walking the dogs, Fishing and my Mum and Sister ride horses. Who do I rant about? :(

I think Ill have a go at Caravans, Ive always been more of a tent man. Bl00dy caravans, driving too slow, bane of bank holiday journeys, swerving accross 3 lanes of the motorway cause granny needs to empty her slash sack on the hard shoulder. Makes me sick. Should be banned. Never met a decent bloke who enjoyed it. :rolleyes:
