RANT! Is it OK to start being rude at cyclist riding abreast

[LOUDMAC]

To male and female riding abreast on the R304 between Cloetsville and the Bottelary turnoff on saturday morning around 8am. Thanks for making my ride more dangerous. Female wearing a grey wind breaker on a road bike and male with a red top on a mtb. Learn to consider other cyclists taking this more serious than you who are clearly out to just enjoy a morning ride whilst spoiling everybody else's day. I had to cycle on the right side of the yellow line to get past you.

 

As a cyclist you should be aware of whats going on around you. I pity you!

 

If that cyclist is riding you wife or GF's breast....then YEs...it's okay to be rude! Otherwise HTFU and put in some interval training to pass! Grow some legs! All this bitching on the Hub.....it's like a kennel!

This post from the OP actually put to words what the problems are on our roads and country.

Everyone thinks that they have the right above any body else.

What will the problem be if you wait behind the other riders for a while. Firstly you can have a breather. And maybe have a friendly chat with them.

Then pass when safe. You might have an incident later and they will stop and help. But by shouting and flying pass and you then have an incident they might justsay that are deserved and keep on riding.

We should stop this sickness to shout and scream if anything or anybody inconveinience us by being to slow or to relaxed.

Saying that probably the OP is so stressed that it were more upsetting to see two riders out that are relaxed and enjoying their ride.

The OP is probably also one of that drivers that will sit on your tail on a single lane road hooting and flashing at you because you are keeping to the speed limit and stopping at stop streets and robots as you are wasting his time.

Get of the road as you preventing him from being an ass.

Someone said it before. TOLERANCE . we need much more of that in this country.

 

Is it OK to make a sensible post like this on this thread ?

You have no right of way in the yellow shoulder, man.

Overtake when safe.

Otherwise, enjoy the slip'.

Seriously dude. You could have kept that comment to yourself if you had nothing worthwhile to say. If you comment on a topic in a forum try showing your wit by actually commenting on the subject.

 

Is it OK to say "BOOM, I WIN...!" ?
