[macp]

A member of our family on my wifes side posted the following on facebook. My feckin blood is boiling.

Whats the difference between red & green, f**k all if your cyclist

So true, sometimes ya just get the urge to push em off.
They're always complaining that drivers don't respect them but the way they think they own the road makes me want to push em off. Also if there's a cycle path why don't they use it??? Makes me want to push em off......don't get me started about cyclists....

Yep ,riding 2 or 3 abreast,blood pressures going up again thinking about it.

Just push em off John....

,right I will

Facebook is the devil's work.

It's ridiculously divisive.

Gossip - the devils radio.

Facebook is just a platform.

Im just surprised and peed off. I commute as often as possible but some days I am just staggered by how drivers treat me as a cyclist having done nothing to encourage there behaviour.

Idiots have existed since the dawn of time. Facebook and the Daily Mail Comments section have gifted them a platform to declare to the world that they are idiots and other idiots "like" their nonsense to make them feel good.

Sound like a bunch of self-gratification artists! You can pick your friends but not your family.

When drivers stop doing the same, stop advancing to the Advance Stop Line, then maybe they'll have something to complain about.

Until then, let them get their own house in order first.

Family or not, it's simple to unfollow them.

Maybe, but no law says you have to have family as friends

Facebook, the platform where keyboard warriors live in glass houses and still throw stones.
Chances are your family member would probably never repeat their posted statement to your face or they might even laugh it off and say it was done in jest. Take no notice of them.

It's Facebook, not real life. You'll be getting angry at Easterners next.

Family or not, it's simple to unfollow them.

Or to "un-friend" them

And if they ask it will be quite simple to tell them why.

You could try discussing it with them. Once you've calmed down, of course.

It's human nature - people feel safe when everyone is the same as them and can point at another group as being other than them. This reinforces their sense of belonging to the group.

Look at us, we drive cars, we like the same tv programmes, we think debt is a good idea - look at those cyclists aren't they weird? They're not like us!
