CORO LOOP WARNING

[Phurrball]

Lively wee thread here, aye?

I have to come down on the side of the cyclists here...having developed my love of two wheels initially from the human-powered variety...

Many good points made - I agree that bunch riders should be courteous to other road users. That said, to all those frothing at the mouth about the 'farking cyclists sitting 4 abreast and yakking at 15km/hr' Is it really any different to coming up behind a slow tractor/lawnmower? Did you get as pissed off about that? Is it *really* any different? Hmmm...

All this *jealously* [] of the fact that bicycles are about the most efficient form of transport there is (I have 3). Quit moaning and get out there on the dusty treadly you've got lurking at the back of the gargre to remind yourself of what it's like! I daresay your moaning would be of a different nature then...(Just like if some of those cagers got out on a bike eh? [I]Then[I] they'd see it from a different perspective...)

I don't know any of them who've been hauled up by plod for it but that doesn't mean that they're not running the risk...

It can and does happen; old flattie got clocked $150 for sneaking an illicit jump through a red light with the wrong kind of observers behind her.

Get any regos?
Write any tickets?

Thats the worst part...she let me pass, she was now the last in our group...two corners in quick succession later and she wasn't there suddenly...went back and found her all picked up by the friendly cager...no witnesses...no regnos...she was too busy flying superman style to look back and see what the reg was...might have been grey???? Thats about it? And couldn't even get my quotas for the weekend...
