Using cars and motorbikes may well become socially unacceptable, cycling most definitely wont.

Accidents involving cyclists have increased by 90% over 4 years in North Yorkshire.

Hmmmmm.... 
1. I'd humbly suggest that you don't want to get into a 'Driving Licence Top Trumps' game with me. You might well embarrass yourself.
2. Much of your utter t
twaffle bullst suggests that no matter your ability to pass a practical test to hold a driving licence, you are psychologically unsuitable to do so.
3. "despite contributing nothing to the system"...
I now see the level of intelligence I'm dealing with. FYI - while I ride my bicycle, my taxed, MOT'd and insured vehicles are on the drive at home, "contributing to the system" dhead. And what's more, by me not driving my large family car on journeys less than three miles, I'm making MORE space on the road available to fkwits who choose to drive. If I need more evidence of motorcyclist stupidity I'll tune in to youtube to watch (yet another) video of some Muppet with a helmet cam providing his own evidence to help the police with their dangerous driving conviction rate.
4. "If you're stupid and inconsiderate enough to commute along narrow 60mph roads on a bicycle you deserve everything you get." How delightful. Maybe suicidal ttwaffles on powerful motorcycles deserve all they get when inobservant morons in cars punt them off on motorways? I couldn't possibly say, but my old Nan used to tell me "what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander"...
As for... "Hopefully cycling will become as socially unacceptable as smoking in public places, it's a nuisance to everyone bar the person doing it."?
There simply aren't enough rolled eyes and rofls in the world to do that statement justice. You sound like a sociopath. It's a sound I know well, regularly heard at night, screaming down the M3 on two wheels with the throttle wide open on the way to an appointment with a tree. Motorcycling will be banned long before bicycling ever will, if we're going to play 'Casualty Rate Top Trumps'.
I'm out now. My mummy warned me that if I argued with stupid it would drag me down to it's level and beat me with experience, so I suppose "you win"...
..."more of your conversation would infect my brain... ...I will be bold to take my leave of you".
Typical egocentric narcissistic response. I haven't personally insulted you once, yet you come straight out with personal insults and then have the arrogance to come out with "this is the intelligence I'm dealing with" and I'm "psychologically unsuitable" to hold a licence, why? Because I call cyclists out for the selfish and inconsiderate road users that they are. Totally incapable of caring about just how far they inconvenience the majority and reducing all motorised traffic to a crawling pace.1.

Bury your head in the sand by all means, cylists are among the most hated user group and for good reason. Lucky you for having a large family car on the drive and not having to commute any meaningful distance. Those other "f
kwits who choose to drive" make up the vast majority of road users (and the reason the road infrastructure exists), who get held up by the selfish insult spouting vocal minorities on their bicycles. Interesting contempt you have for primary road users (those with motorised vehicles), is it little wonder that tolerance to cyclists has worn so incredibly thin by those who encounter them on a daily basis.but anyway, byebye

Yeah cyclists are a nightmare by me.
A group decide to have an unofficial road race last year on an arterial road. Imagine,70+ of hes. One single, 1/4 mile streak of flourescent gobste. The traffic on the A701 (one of only two roads South) backed up about ten miles.
Thankfully I was on my GSXR. I filtered, ripped past, but not before slowing to gesticulate to the officials on their "support" vehicles that they were a shower of dicks, I have never seen such a sense of entitlement and inconsideration on such a scale.
I even had to keep my horn on the whole time passing the cyclists as, despite obviously hearing me, the cyclists kept pulling out to overtake each other (two/three abreast so well into opposite lane) without shoulder checks. Full tour de fking knobhead mode.
It's all the fking finance s from Edinburgh. Spending all week hedge funding via land mines and shafting poor people, then they come here in their Spandex on their ill-gotten ten grand plastic push bike, and obligatory VW Meincampfervans with full dhead chrome accessories, just to ps off another demographic before retiring back to their luxury homes for a finance sector BDSM and puppy drowning party.
One of the few positives of Brexit, I hope, is a long overdue hardship for theses. Perhaps they can wear their fking spandex onesy's when they're forced to apply their transferable skills to things like "cat strangling ", or taking their fragile, pretentious, carbon bicycles to ride between houses when they're trying to fleece old people.

Doing my bit for saving valuable road space in Tenerife by not even bothering to use my front wheel.
I shall further acknowledge the irony of one marginalised minority group of vulnerable road users lambasting another one, with a picture of my campferwagen and another expensive plastic bike.
Though I should point out that any chrome is factory fitted and neither was ill gotten. They were all very expensive though, for plastic.
As this isn’t the “Cyclists are
s” thread (though you’re welcome to start one), can we return to generic rants. If the situation were reversed this thread would have been dumped straight into the Pedal Powered forum by now. And my intention was keep the infighting strictly to our own code.
Afterall, whilst people on two wheels dressed in silly clothing going too slow should punishable by death, people on two wheels in silly clothes going too fast is just fine.
PH: Double standards matter

There is no good type of cyclist.... The only excuse for cycling when you have motorbikes is its pissing down or your trying to get fit from years of drink, drugs, fast food and fags.Eta you've lost your licence or still high/pissed these are acceptable times to ride a bike. It's slightly less gay than a bus.

I like that this is still bothering you. These are rented plastic bikes but as rule, we like things to match. It’s endemic of many two-wheeled past times.
Here is me celebrating your bitterness on my own plastic bike. And waving to you.
Literally no one is impressed xxx I'm pretty sure the front has just lifted on your ridiculously bespoke light bike after running over a rizzla. That's pre crash. Here is me celebrating your bitterness on my own plastic bike. And waving to you.
And ooh look, I’m wearing pink. How salacious
