Cyclists cause an accident :(

[Beemer]

Try riding a bicycle sometime, lady. It's good for the soul, it makes you less fat, and it helps you to appreciate that in fact, it's pedestrians who are at the bottom of the 'situationally aware road users' pile.

Anyway, you're being a twit, and you should shut up now.

I have ridden bicycles for years so I know what it's like to be passed by cars and bikes going at warp speed nine. But whenever I did cycle, I kept well to the left and was always considerate to ALL other road users. Because of the associated dangers of the country roads where I live, I prefer walking now - and I still remain on the alert for other road users at all times.

My soul - and my arse - are both in good health thank you Fish. When I want to shut up I will. And when I want to hear from an arsehole, I'll fart.

You're right... anyone walking on the road taking up the whole lane is stupid...

and welcome back - long time no abuse!

...and was always considerate to ALL other road users.

And therein lies the essence of the problem. Those cyclists weren't thinking of others, and nor was the rocket scientist that passed them on a blind corner

Nah fish - don't let her stop please - I'm pissing myself laughing at some of the shite she's spouting. I'm not going to repeat any of my previous posts though cos most people are doing that for me.

Thanks for the laugh Beemer...now on a more serious note are you trolling or what?

Bollocks. Maybe you've pedalled around town a bit, or ridden a few mountainbike trails, but only a sociopath would be able to express the opinions you profess after spending any real time on a bicycle.

You're not a sociopath, are you?

That's a bit of a case of the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it? Or are you just trying to be erudite?

I used to do road racing, never been mountain biking.

... never been mountain biking.

Oh. Well, you can't be much of a sociopath, then.

Mountain bikers are a bunch of bastards, see, got no consideration for other trail users. In fact, I think the Gubmint should ban them. I hate mountain bikers.

Next time I hear a breezy voice call out "on yer right" as I'm struggling desperately to avoid planting my face in a tree stump, I am going to put a stick through its spokes and dance about on its grave singing Hallelujah.

OIY I'm a mountain biker and I ain't no bastard!.

If anyone put sticks in my spokes they'd be getting my fist in their mouth and my foot up their arse.

Popcorn! Popcorn! Get your popcorn here!!!

No need to rush folks, the entertainment is in full swing.

True, perhaps, but you're a disaffected, bitter man, aren't you? Because you know you should be riding an Epic.

i-Drives are slow.

I do agree with you on that Mr Fish. If I had the extra $$$ a Specialized Epic with Fox brain shocks would definitely be on my shopping list.

[dnos]

my ten cents.
Driver of the car was on the wrong side of the road on double yellow lines - no excuse, they were the ones that caused the accident.

Even if it were one cyclist they can't pass on a blind corner that is ridiculous.

I agree that cyclists can be a pain but people need to deal with it. pass when its safe, there is far too much stupid behaviour on our roads.

I am glad to hear that no one was hurt in a very dangerous situation.

You wouldn't believe (well, perhaps you would) the pain and suffering that I went through with a certain Mrs Fish as she vacillated between i-Drives and Epics. She ended up buying an i-Drive 4 1.0, and almost immediately started complaining that it was too slow.

Pfft.

I coulda done gone and bought a pretty nice motorcycle with that money.

Or a Cannondale Six-13 frame for my road bike.

Women, eh?
