Classic c0cktonsil riding...

[StevieL]

This was West Park road this morning.

Look at where you need to place your car to actually overtake.

Seriously?

Well done.

Well then overtake these road users by indicating and passing them them like you would pass another car. In the other lane!

Why do I need to do that?

If they rode like they should be riding (like as far left as possible) then I wouldn't have to.

I mean big bloke centre pic is not even riding 2 abreast, but still feels the need to ride centre lane.

 

It because of habits like this that cause animosity between cars and bicycles.

Hmmm. Very serious this. I can see it is a very busy road and in peak traffic as well! Lots of oncoming traffic and no space to overtake. You must have been very frustrated.

i have travelled this road and the picture doesnt do the danger justice. Its a nice road where CAR users travel at high speed and CYCLE users taking up a whole lane. Single file or 2abreast not the whole ffing lane!!!

Looks like a small back road, with little to no traffic. I don't see a major problem. Just overtake them, what's the issue?

People need to be more tolerable of each other...

 

Now if there was traffic on the road, and they where keeping up traffic, then offcourse it's a whole different story.

It actually is a fairly busy road, and cars come the other way at very high speeds.

It is dangerous riding, simple as that...

Waiting for the first comment about taking pictures while driving…I know it's coming…

Single file .... the roadie's most difficult concept to understand.

Wankers!

Before it does, let me state that I was the passenger/photographer

It's this kind of attitude that annoys me too.

You have cars coming up behind you. Move over or don't cry when you get knocked down.

I want to say typical roadies!!!! but I would rather not.

[Bat-ass]

If i were in a car where you took that pic, i would rather have to pass them riding as they are, then pass them riding single file. As they are, you have a quick 5 - 10 meter pass. If they were in single file, you would have to expose yourself to the other lane for at least 50+ meters....

Its been said a thousand times but we are our own worst enemy. Small wonder drivers of cars have little consideration for us with tjops like this scattered around across the country.
