Cringe Time

[QUOTE 4015554, member: 9609"]He may be in the right, but that is embarrassingly cringe worthy - no wonder some people hate us.

Really is no need. All the petty crap over whose piece of road, whose right of way, cock fighting in the street over nothing when people are blowing us up and killing us. Get a grip on life and treat each other with respect

Hate us? Killing us? Blowing us up?

Us? Who exactly?

In neither instance is there an "us"?

Get a grip.

Behave like a Dilbert long enough and it'll backfire, as is demonstrated in this public information film from The Republic of Texas...

Maybe the HC says the cyclist had priority, but I'm pretty sure it also says not to act like a bellend and start ordering people around.

If I were driving in that situation, I would have let the car through, so wouldn't have buggered about on a bike...agree that this is the attitude that makes people hate cyclists

I was making the point there is more important things in life to worry about. By 'us' I mean THE HUMAN RACE. All of us. I use the word to describe collectively and as such not discrimanate, so I have a grip.

Oh and I did not say 'hate us' so check before quoting

The people doing the killing and the blowing up? Are they not part of THE HUMAN RACE? Are they not 'us' then?

and if folk decided not to post on every occasion there were more important things in life to worry about the existence of every cycling forum on the interwebs would be put in peril...

[QUOTE 4015991, member: 9609"]i was just wanting you to feel included Gregry, common, stop being so grumpy and join in with the rest of the family, I know you want to [/QUOTE]
I'm not a cyclist, I just ride bikes a lot.
I'm not a motorist, I just drive a car sometimes.
I'm not a musician, I just play an instrument.
et cetera
et cetera

There is no us.

What a massive own-goal for driver/cyclist relations.
Just because the Highway Code says you have priority doesn't mean you can start speaking to another adult like a naughty puppy.
He should try and "live and let live" a bit. After all, we're all just trying to get somewhere.

The posting was not an issue, I liked the original post. It was the guy in the video I was on about
In answer to your question, No they are not part of the human race or us.

 

[Venod]

And he didn't shout or get sweary

But what an arrogant tone & gesticulation he used, would he have behaved the same if confronted with a big mean looking bloke behind the wheel, I think not, could have been resolved without all the dramatics.

nobs... the pair of em

I've examined the video a few times now, and I can only state that, whilst the car driver was technically in the wrong, the cyclist was, and probably is, an out and out bellend.

Not an epithet I bestow lightly on a fellow cyclist, but there we go.

 

[Drago]

The humour of the fall is tempered somewhat by the sound of the s*** dribbling down the cyclists leg as he bravely pedals for all he's worth.

Of course there's an us, there's us Cyclechatters

I am not 100% sure that the Cyclist actually has right of way anyway. The car driver was already passing the obstacle as the cyclist arrived. They were there first and cyclist deliberately created an obstacle in themself.

At a roundabout, you give way to the right. What happens when you are there before somebody approaching from the right but not at the junction? You go and the car arriving makes allowance for you and we all go about our day!
