yaawwwnnnn, every time I read one of these threads I wonder if there'll be someone who makes some of the usual mandatory comments like, "let them kill themselves" or "you're no better for using a phone/camera in circumstances like that" and all the rest of them roasting and defending the OP and every time I wonder if the OP has every read one of these - Stupid Cyclist/Roadie threads. FFS, if you gonna ask for support when complaining about the behavior of cyclists, I recommend going on to a motoring forum. You could also ride up to the offenders and let them know how you feel :D , but we know that cyclists are never wrong and given the opposing views you're likely to encounter (ie. yours vs. theirs), you're bound to get into a heated exchange. The other day I almost hit a guy on a bike when he skipped a red light while I was on my way to the gym and I considered turning around crapping on him, I even considered that I would tell him I was a cyclist and that I was on his side. But then it occurred to me that I was surely not the first person to let this guy know that skipping a red, even at 05h00 was not a good idea. I'm also sure that he's heard of people getting knocked off theirs bikes and killed or maimed. So I had to question what good my little talking to would do, even if I was a fellow cyclist. I think the problem is not so much the bike one rides, as the pic here clearly shows, but the person on the bike. It could also be these guy's parents for not teaching them properly, the bike shop that sold them the bikes should also have warned them. Perhaps they should have collectively policed themselves? Maybe they've never read The Hub? Did they at least greet you when they passed, please tell me they greeted you? Look after yourselves, eventually these idiots will be taken care of by Darwin, if not on the bike during the course of the rest of their careless lives, and we'll all be left with responsible and polite cyclists both on the road and on the trail.
