idrive Posted January 29, 2008 Share A few of the recent topics here have shocked me for a number of different reasons: a) Cyclists don't know the basic rules of the road, like not being allowed on a motorway! b) Cyclists don't know the basic rules of the road, like not riding abreast! c) Cyclists don't know the basic rules of the road, like not stopping at robots or stop streets! d) Cyclists also seem to think they're immortal! e) Cyclists are also aggressive towards other road users! f) Cyclists seem to think roads are for them only g) Cyclists always blame other road users instead of looking at themselves. I would like to see the Metro confiscate bikes from cyclists who break the rules ....... after all they're starting to do the same to other road users!! I would also like to get some response from Metro with regards to the rules concerning 'yellow lines' or 'emergency lanes' and riding on highways etc. Then I'd like to see Drive Alive etc doing something about creating an awareness of cycling, but if cyclists don't change their attitudes then there's no hope of any progress being made anywhere.

Bateleur1 Posted January 29, 2008 Share get some response from Metro with regards to the rules concerning 'yellow lines' or 'emergency lanes' What response did you have in mind here? Rules are quite clear on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canaris Posted January 29, 2008 Share Read Neitsche, when you have transended the medicracy of society, you no longer are bound by the laws that chain them so comfortably to this lesser order of society. You are a super-human, free to do as you please, without respite or censure. It worked for Hitler, it can work for you too!!!!!! or should be adventure to the facinating and fantasy world of relativism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewep Posted January 29, 2008 Share idrive, they can have my bike, ANYTIME. BUT if I then go onto any motorway and a taxi drives in the yellow lines, or a lady on her cell pushes me off the road, all hell will break loose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowpoke Posted January 29, 2008 Share "not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true" yes, as KF points out i'm involved with TB. Shaunh runs sign-up. There are others who do their part too. I'm also sure i'm not the only one of us that often wonders why - "is it appreciated?" and "what is the point when certain peeps insist on undoing it all because they are just SO friggin special" etc often come to mind (but then one or two peeps show appreciation and do their bit too and those peeps make it worth it, even if they at times seem to be the minority) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
