What a prize tool. Hope they track the driver down and dish out an appropriate punishment.
I expect the driver thinks they are making a point, and being clever. But nothing can be further from the truth.

Good grief.

Makes a change i suppose, they normally just park on them.

 

[Profpointy]

seems like a good thing to me. After all, they're f-all use for cycling on

It would have been ironic if the car had picked up a puncture from all the typical sh1te on the cycle path.

 

[Globalti]

Wow, those roads are flat aren't they?

As one of the reply's to the thread on RCC.

That is a brilliant idea. I reckon on Sunday mornings cars should only be allowed to use cycle paths, leaving the roads free for cycling, running, walking, horse riding, kids in go carts, street hockey etc.

This may of course lead to calls by motorists and motoring organisations for cycle path facilities to be upgraded and expanded, but what the heck, that might mean they become fit for use by all cyclists during the week.

Lucky no one was using the path, why anyone would think i know I'll drive on the path

I look forward to the idiot being identified on Facebook, claiming to be the victim and getting away scot-free.

Just to play Devils advocate does anyone know why the cyclists were on the road instead of the bike path?

 

[glenn forger]

Take a look at the Highway Code and it will explain, amazing how many drivers dont know this.

Maybe it was a shared path and they were going too fast to safely use it?

 

[Goggs]

Ah, fair enough. That's something outwith my experience.
