What winds you up about cyclists you may see when driving

[burntoutbanger]

I know it's done in a helpful, friendly manner so I hope I've not come across as moaning but it's just not a safe thing to do IMO.

Enjoying this thread, not seeing it as 'knocking cyclists' but as an opportunity to reflect on what we all could be doing better.

Absolutely agree with everything you say buddy. If a post like this saves just one life or injury its been well worth it..Seeing a situation from a drivers point of view ,as well as a cyclists can only lead to a better understanding of each other and ultimately a safer world for road users.

When someone waves me past I smile and wave back. If it goes chest skyward it'll be me in in front of a Judge or a Coroner, not them.

Aha, you must stay near my g/f, we quite often encounter them when a ship's in

That was an unexpected response, I quite possibly do.

Mainly that they are on a bike, and I'm n a car! GGGggrrrr!!!

How do you dispose of the grounds?

Sorry, Off Topic, but has anybody tried keeping the grounds and using them instead of Swarfega for oily hands?

I want to see more cyclists taking lanes instead of cowering in gutters or riding in the door zone. It scares me to watch people riding the white lines on roundabouts.
Granted round here there's plenty that will expect cycles to get out of their way, but we have a right and their convenience can get stuffed.

Does that work? What's the method?

I use granuated sugar and liquid soap/washing up liquid.

When they don't f%$king indicate.

 

[Drago]

Or even worse, indicate without looking properly. Why ride a bike as badly as they would a car?
