Love nothing better than watching all these law abiding cyclists run a couple of red lights, then when I get ahead of them again, deliberately sitting in the box. Rather than running their third consecutive red light, they can’t resist stopping and gesturing or banging on your window, to tell you that you are stopped in their box 😂🤣 But if they were running red lights, they wouldn’t need to be in the box. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_HMFC Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I cycle 7 miles each way to a from work and the last couple of mornings on the bike, about 4:30am, my beard started to ice up absolutely baltic but once you get going you soon warm up.

It's not a debate about cars v cycles. Cyclists are pricks and need reminded at every opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manaliveits105 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Ive seen a clown on Lanark Road with a camera on his helmet as big as the helmet (cycling helmet) and a tshirt telling everyone he has a camera on his helmet - there are no words - he also cycles in the middle of the road obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a know it all cyclist knock on my doors not long ago to tell me i shouldn't be in the cycle box. What he failed to take into account was the lights changed as i approached them and that a bus doesn't stop on a dime. He took a note of my bus number, strangely I've not heard anything about it.

One of the streets I need to go down is crumbling and falling to bits and has potholes all over the place near the kerb. I put in a complaint about it via the council website over 3 years ago.

If only there was a way to put this camera technology into cars I bet loads of drivers would have then. Im thinking a sort of camera that would go on the dashboard or somewhere. God knows what we could call it. Incidently I saw a car swerving about a road the other day. Its like he was avoiding pot holes or trying to avoid the general shit state of the roads- there are no words-obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't either. We have the bully now 😡 Cyclists should have to put a number plate on. They get away with road rage all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a windscreen watcher fitted, just a little too late to catch the four balloons who have hit my vehicle costing hundreds of pounds of damage and never coughed up a single penny. Maybe I’ll start driving artics instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
