What the f**** is wrong with some people?

That is disgusting. I'd have been fuckin' fuming. How dare someone do that to your property and then try and defend themselves for doing it.

some Arsewipe in a boring dented heap of shit grey People mover slamed her door into my mint pride & joy. Then junior decided to bash the trolley into my bumper, dented it & cracked my friggin headlight.

I told her to control her kid & to at least have some respect for other peoples property & She goes "oh but lighten up, it was only an accident.. get over it"

Some people just don't give a shit !

At least the guy I watched back his SUV over a bike right outside Colemans the other day stopped and appeared to sort it out. He probably could have just driven off in a hurry and got away with it.

In my experience I'd have to agree with you on this.

shoulda rammed the trolley into her kid. stupid bitch. did you get her plate? if so, get her address and send her and her kid the repair bill.

I would have tried to be calm, and polite. Take a photo on your phone while walking up to her.
Give her your card, and ask for her number so you can send the bill for repainting your 'special' paint job that your bike has. Or for a replacement part.

The look on their face when something like that happens is priceless.

If they run, then you have a heap of options with that photo.

Most of them can't decide whether they are road users or pedestrians. Pisses me off when you see people wheel a bike across a pedestrian crossing

Better than riding across, because then they do it at a different speed than walking people. That stuffs up the timing and you can miss an opportunity to go through an intersection.

e.g. Light goes green and you could go 'round the corner because the pedestrians will take a while to get to you (maybe there were none on your side of the road) BUT some git rides a bike across so you wait for them.

(Though since they are riding maybe you should run over them?)

If they walk, with or instead of pedestrians, then it all works out better.

[What I hate is waiting nicely at a pedestrian corssing, for the walkers to get fully across, and some wank on a bike flies past my car, millimeters away from hitting the walkers.]

People that own nothing of value or consider their possessions to have no value think everyone else is the same...

I have a car, a road bicycle, and a mountain bike. I'd like to think I'm considerate regardless of which transportation I choose to take.

Isn't it law that a cyclist must dismount to cross a pedestrian crossing?

bloody hell, in my experrience it really pisses me off when people say motorcyclists have no respect for laws or other road users

wouldn't it make sense for two road user groups who normally come out of a crash as the most injured party to have a little mutual respect

or taking on board that a high portion of motorcyclists without there heads up their arse ride push bikea as well

fyi, I have tried riding my push bike, riding the motorbike and even driving my car with my head up my arse, don't know how you guys do it, can't see anything interesting at all

Besides, you're comparison is out of context. I've never rested my bike up on someones push bike... But anyway, yea, you should have parked your bike on her pushie and told her that she needs a sense of humor when she complains

Uh, when I read through this thread someone else had already commented "same thing could be said for bikers" (something like that). Plenty of people on this site crow about their "cage damaging" skills - often inflicted in the process of lane splitting - and don't express any feeling of guilt or responsibility (other than "hey I took the c*nts wing mirror off 'cos he f*cking had the nerve to get in my way while I was carving up the lanes". I don't think the comparison was out of context at all. You sound like you have a carrot shoved up your bottom.
