Bad Name

[Noodley]

The important word being responsible.
If anyone rljed "cycling one handed, on the drops,slowly, and dialing on mobile phone" i would judge that not responsible rljing.
In the same way, the bahaviour as described in the op, i would judge that not responsible.

Oh dear, any credibility you may have had has just disappeared.

You have allready made it quite clear that anyone who dosnt agree with your opinion that it is ok to cycle one handed, on the drops,slowly, and dialing on mobile phone causing a tailback of peed off motorists has no credibility in your eyes .
When it comes to having no credibility in the eyes of the delinquent i regard that as a good sign tyvm.

 

[apollo179]

The fact that you do?

Ok whatever. You are obviously just being deliberately silly.

Strange that you would regard RLJing slowly as an indicator of irresponsiblity. Still the main point is that, as a result of your pick and chose attitude to road law, I don't think you have a moral position from which to judge here.

He didn't say that RLJing slowly was an indicator of irresponsibility, he said that "cycling one handed, on the drops,slowly, and dialing on mobile phone" was an indicator or irresponsibility.

Although it is very funny that you accuse apollo of having a pick and choose attitude when you have yourself picked and chosen one word from the quote. You might just as well have said that he considered cycling to be irresponsible.

If a person didn't want to "pee off" motorists, it's worth that person bearing in mind that RLJ is a frequently brought up "why i hate cyclists" trope. (A recent survey of Bus Drivers by Manchester FoE had 70.3% of respondents cite it as their primary concern when sharing the road with cyclists).

You completely misunderstand my point. The issue in the OP is that motorists get pissed off with slow cyclists.

I hope your RLJing does not lead to one of these easily-pissed off motorists chasing you down.

Interesting that you quote someone who, I believe, was banned for being an arse!

You seem to think this is all ok.

I was wondering where angel was.
Why was he banned ?
If you cant say openly could you pm me or direct me to a relevant topic.
Personally i think its a shame if he was banned cos he was usually a very entertaining debator.

 

[Noodley]

could you pm me or direct me to a relevant topic.

No.

Annoying isn't it?

So it is OK to RLJ but not cycle slowly one handed ?

What do you think is going to pee off motorists more. ?

Wake up and smell the coffee

 

[Noodley]

No.

Annoying isn't it?

But seriously, I do not have a link to a specific topic...

However it should be noted that that Apollo's (safe RLJing) breaks the law whereas the cyclist described in the OP does not.

Pick and choose as you will.

 

[Noodley]

I have cycled whilst using a phone, not slowing down as I did it, and not having to.

I have never RLJed. It's illegal that is. naughty naughty very naughty...

Have we established what speed he was cycling at prior to using the phone?
Maybe he had just finsished his really fast interval training and was phoning his wife to say he had done really well and not held up any motorists that day because he had been going so fast?
