SnailyBoy Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 True - but you usually have to pay an additional premium for (optional) All Risks cover - which covers your valuables when away from the premises - whereas Public Liability cover tends to be provided as standard. i agree that cyclists do cause less damage in a collision but it does happen also a cyclist can collide with a pedestrian and cause injury thats why there is a need for insurance if you were knocked off your cycle and sustained injury the guilty partys insurance would pay for repairs or renewal of your cycle and any injury sustained by you however if you caused the accident and incurd injury to a vehicle or pedestrian what would happen then dont say it wouldnt insurance for a cycle works out around 25 to 30 pounds a year (there are specialist cycle insurers)that my friend is cheap for peice of mind Sorry, I need a few full stops in there.

WeX Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 A very nice, inconsiderate cyclist today made a good case for how they can hold up traffic. by riding up the middle of western bank. effectively blocking both lanes past the university. cars could not pass on the right because of the concrete wall or the left due to the curb. and before the militant cyclists say he was doing right, the highway codes says he was doing wrong! 137 On a two-lane dual carriageway you should stay in the left-hand lane. Use the right-hand lane for overtaking or turning right. After overtaking, move back to the left-hand lane when it is safe to do so. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferno Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 How does a cyclist block two lanes at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise no-one would be able to go straight ahead. You don't state where on Western Bank but IIRC there is a cycle lane in the middle of the two lanes near the traffic lights by the Octagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Clearly that cyclist hadn't learned the twenty-foot-bunny-hop manoeuvre that's de-rigour for moving into the right hand lane from the left lane on that bit of road. But imagine poor old WeX having to endure the horror of a four second delay in getting to the red light twenty yards away. Have you no sympathy for the poor man!

FORE Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Last week I saw 2 riding side by side, towards me on Burton Road, not a care in the world. Biggest problem was it's against the 'one way'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
