Yes thanks, spacktard.
O-v-e-r-t-a-k-e the cyclist. Unless your spacktard car or spacktard brain means you can't.
Says the spacktard who thinks it's as simple as driving up behind a cyclist, and pulling out to overtake him in the rush hour, giving him the space he " needs ", in the face of oncoming traffic. Not where I live, you don't, literally the busiest B-road in the country. Which is why numerous cars have to drive at 15 mph instead of something resembling progress.O-v-e-r-t-a-k-e the cyclist.

If you did overtake them in these circumstances, the go-pro warrior would then post you up on youtube as someone who's overtaken him too closely. By all means, use the term spacktard as liberally as you like, but when your argument's a poorly thought out one, best save it for yourself.

Might have been posted earlier in the thread but one day someone is going to put this prat in hospital.
Militant cyclists in London are a problem, I've been told off by one for standing near to the edge of the pavement (Holborn tube was restricted access and I had nowhere else to stand). I slapped the idiot's camera off his head so I'm probably on youtube as "ANGRY MAN ASSAULTS ME" when really I just want to get home and not put up with idiot cyclists that what to police the road.

Someone less charitable than me would say that you shouldn't be allowed to drive on the roads. Not fit for purpose, or something.

Haha I liked the way the guy dealt with the bicyclist.Might have been posted earlier in the thread but one day someone is going to put this prat in hospital.

He could have just backed off and carried on as normal, but then he can't upload that to youtube. That's half the problem with the dash/helmet cam people, they put themselves into bad situations and even though they are in the "right", they could have just easily avoided the confrontation in the first place.
That bloke in particular is going to pick a fight with the wrong person and end up in hospital or worse.

Yes, most of these guys doing this youtube gig provoke other road users as much as possible to get a good video to upload. Their objective of using a camera is to create content of fights and arguments to get as many clicks as they can. Obviously any rational & considerate person looking to get home as easily as possible would have just slowed down a little coming to the red light to give the guy time to cross.That bloke in particular is going to pick a fight with the wrong person and end up in hospital or worse.
Though I bet that he'd actually love to get hit as it would net him a lot of views and maybe even a mention on the daily mail!

Yes, stopping is a pain, you also have to realise that a pushbike is a lot narrower than any motorbike, I go through gaps that no motorbike can fit down but frequently motorbikes do just sit there blocking the road (gaps) for people on bikes, if you don't have any intention of filtering I think its best to leave the gap for other people to make their own call, what you deem as narrow on a wider vehicle won't be the same as what I deem too narrow.If any cyclist doesn't adhere to the rules they should be following then they should be fined. End of discussion. The same applies to every other road user, if you disagree with this you are wrong. End of.
The cyclists in the OPs post were breaking the law, they should be prosecuted.
Where's the argument?
If you don't agree then you are mentally ill, if you agree then we need to petition the government to act on this.

We stopped enforcing the law in this country many decades ago. The cyclists in the OPs post were breaking the law, they should be prosecuted.

Law is enforced highly selectively. The police won't do anything about many forms of theft and fraud, so why should they act about one kind of two-wheeled road user spouting off over some other two-wheeled road users?
Mentally ill indeed.

Motorbikes are not quicker through London than bikes in general, I frequently see the same motorbikes over and over again. The reason ironically for that is because you cannot filter through the same gaps a bike can, as per my last post. And of course bike lanes.Most of the cyclists that end up dead either do so through fault of a driver, or through lack of awareness, very few I doubt think they can make a gap and die, it doesn't generally work like that. However, we have had these threads before and drivers are the cause of the deaths in more cases than cyclists are the stats are out there. Forget all the s
t about red lights, its irrelevant (apart from to create a bad image).You seem to think people like the ones in CM care about their image or are in anyway thinking about how cyclists generally come across, I doubt they do, as I said, many people think people on motorbikes are just organ donors, I'm sure they don't care either when they're blatting around the country roads. They don't represent the bloke commuting via vespa to work, the same way some unwashed f
ktard with a boombox on his bike doesn't represent me, the same way a drink driver who kills a car full of innocent people doesn't represent car drivers. You say you understood this, but I don't think you do.okgo said:

You are missing the point, forget the grey areas and treat it as black and white. The cyclists are wrong, the OP is right.
Both black and white, and grey viewpoints are valid, providing you are consistent.So if you want to talk in terms of black and white then yes, the cyclists are wrong. They should be prosecuted. As should every motorist who speeds, passes cyclists too close, parks on the pavement or double yellow lines, and we should petition the government to act on those law breakers as well.
