Being yelled at and perceptions of cyclists....

[skudupnorth]

They are just upset that they cannot get of their fat arses and do what we do !!!! It upsets them more when a traffic jam is also thrown in for good measure !

Driver's perceptions of cyclists

This report describes research that examined the attitude and behaviour of drivers towards cycle users. A range of qualitative and quantitative research techniques was used, including the use of virtual reality equipment to simulate encounters between drivers and cyclists. Variations in driver attitude and behaviour based on a number of factors, including physical infrastructure and cyclists behaviour were examined. The research also examined the effectiveness of two different approaches to improving drivers' consideration of the needs of cyclists. The report makes recommendations to improve driver training, for the layout of roads and for future campaigns to raise awareness of cyclists among drivers

There are too many twats and self-gratification artists? Alas, none of them have the self awareness to recognise themselves...

We are an island nation floating in the north Atlantic. A proportion of the people on the island are styrofoam and will float easily, the rest are ball bearings and will sink immediately. Trouble is, more people are adopting the ball bearing mentality and therfore the bouyancy of the country is being undermined by twottishness. But the twots can't see it.

Life's too short to be a ball bearing, go styrofoam.

Fat bold old bloke on a tiny wheeled bike with a silly big bag on the front...i get taunts all the time. part of cycling i think.

Reading these posts I do sometimes wonder if London in general is less deranged than most of the rest of the country. As a fat, not bald, oldish bloke on a tiny wheeled bike with a silly big bag on the front, I cannot recall any stupid comments in four years of Bromptoneering around West London / West End.

I suppose it just could be that the sheer numbers of Bromptons have overwhelmed the local morons.

If you think you get shouted at a lot riding an upright, try riding a recumbent. So many toots and shouts that I'm getting really good at blanking the lot.
