Cyclons

[Davidc]

We often refer to motons (motorised morons), but I think we need a new term for cycle riding morons!

I had to drive across town this morning (in a car ). The number of cyclists has definitely gone up, but the standard of roadcraft seems to have plunged. Now I know it was wet, and riding a bike can be less than wonderful in a deluge, BUT...

The number of cyclists doing stupid things was amazing. Riding straight out onto rondabouts, not stopping at junctions and in one case riding straight out in front of a bus to turn right, turning with no hint of a signal, RLJing including on pelican crossings, and more but lists get boring.

It's no wonder that the non-cycling part of the population has such a low opinion of cyclists!

Rant over.

The usual derisive acronym is POB isn't it?

Yup... Although david may have a point, I am not sure POB is abusive enough for these numpties!

Among others!

I cant print what I called one of the idiots this morning - good thing the window was closed....

edit: and good thing I've got good brakes and tyres on the car or the relevant term would have been Flat Packed.

Problem with "cyclons" is they will think it's to do with BSG

Sounds like a kind of sub atomic particle to me. I wonder what its properties would be.
