If you want to do something about it, whinging about motorists on a car forum is probably not that thing.
I'm saying I'd stop cycling, because viewed on the impression PH's angry cyclist posse give of it, it doesn't sound like a lot of fun, whereas driving's great!

kers on the internet, cycling is a fantastic sport but on the roads (in the UK) you just have to deal with the mouth breathing idiots, you know the sort.......

Ah the reasoned and balanced view of a 'biker'

Well as I'm on a 'bike' when I'm experiencing this on an almost daily basis I'd say I'm fairly well placed to comment (by bike I mean a two wheeled human powered vehicle). The standard of cycling is fNext.
king shocking wherever you are in the world IMO. Almost makes me think they should make people have tests, license them and force them to take insurance. Apart from the fact I don't believe in any of that

cycling is too dangerous and disruptive for many A and B roads. I am all for cycling becoming more popular but councils should really be deciding a lot of roads just aren't suitable for it.
Oh no it isn't. It's perfectly safe as long as the drivers are competent...EnthusiastOwned said:
Blatantly he had no idea I was there, so a little friendly toot of the horn as a warning to say: "I'm here". His response? The finger (without turning his head), positioning himself in the middle of the road and slowing right down to a crawling pace. I bit, I shouldn't have but he riled me up; I instantly overtook and slammed the brakes on. Last thing I saw was him skidding into the curb, and clumsily coming off his bike with both feet on the ground (the type when you come off the bike but keep on running afterwards). Whoops. 
So the cyclist did something silly, and your response was to deliberately endanger his life.FFS.

What, the ones that can't get their point across without rude swearing? Yes I know the ones you mean.
You don't give a toss about your driving, I don't feel the need to bother myself with your issues over swearing. One will kill someone, the other will only offend. That's the thing with you lot. As long as nothing impacts on your little lives everything else can suffer. Honestly, this is only a big issue in certain countries. You must be really proud to not be as clever as 90% of Europe when it comes to driving

I live in the Netherlands. We all ride bikes here and I do approx 6000km a year on a bicycle across Europe, the UK and USA according to my GPS. I reckon 80% of my road time is in the saddle. You seem to me like you've got a chip on your shoulder.Prat.

You deliberately endangered his life to make some kind of point. Psychotic behaviour.

You make a blanket statement, which is total bks by the way and then say I have chip on my shoulder. Of course.Motorrad said:

said some stuff
I'm saying standards need to be improved. Where is the downside? Its a st situation ATM IMO mostly because people are in denial about the need to raise standards. Until then I guess car users might find entitlement for their bullying.Edit to add I guess I'll wait forever for your apology for your precipitous insult. Typical knob on a bike eh?
