Lucky Luke. Posted June 25, 2013 Share You honestly believe that? definitely. I cannot control how others ride their bikes. do you not feel the same way? I try to help where I can when I can see there's a problem, but seriously, I have a life to live. GaryvdM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabes Posted June 25, 2013 Share It does seem VERY odd to me that cyclists continually voice this concern that other riders 'paint us in a bad light' or whatever. You don't find car drivers worrying about this - how other drivers behave - as if this would reflect badly on them as road users - a little ridiculous when you put it like that no? How narrow minded can one be. There are millions of motorists on the road compared to the 1000's of cyclists The Hub is meant to be a cycling "community" where we can discuss safety issues of cyclists on the road.

That is a fact Edited June 25, 2013 by fabes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabes Posted June 25, 2013 Share +1000 How funny would it be, to see on a caravaning forum where they moan about other Caravan people driving slowly, overtaking on a hill etc etc......Hahaha that would be funny Oh wait on other forums they do however start discussions with how badly cyclists use the road. We ALL (CYCLISTS) get slated on other forums not just the 2 or 3 pricks that committed the offense of riding 2 abreast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Earp Posted June 25, 2013 Share Apart from the negative effect on their own safety - I don't much care how other cyclists behave Well, we agree on something.But I will add this (and yes you will debate it with much gusto again), but if they put me at risk and it affects my safety, then I do care as to how they behave.

Guest JPC Posted June 25, 2013 Share has anyone seen that "bicycling" option in Google maps.. (When you toggle between Satellite, maps, Terrain etc). It is never an option to click on. Does that mean that there are no designated cycling pavements? I have to ride on the road cause joburg is not designed with cycle tracks. or I ride the pavement. Not sure which one is illegal/worse. The road is actually marked for vehicles like cars.. I dont see miniature cycle lines on it, so i guess the car is the one in the right... So as the visitor to the road with my bike, i guess I better give way to the cars, or die while trying to prove who is the bigger AH edit.. this is supposed to be in agreement with cyclists being more careful.

We were having a heated debate about speaker cables once and which sound better.The one engineer simply said this "all speaker cables degrade the sound, the best one is the one that causes the least damage" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, if someone puts my life at risk I definitely react, but in all my years of riding I've never found it to be another cyclist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Luke. Posted June 25, 2013 Share Lucky Luke you cannot control the way other cyclists cycle BUT they can control how other motorists will treat you on the road. That is a fact I disagree completely on this. That is a total myth. If every cyclist turned into Mother Theresa today, we'd still have the same crop of **** drivers tomorrow.
