Regarding cyclists it annoys me when they drive on the road when there is a purpose made cyclist lane to use, in particular on Penistone road city bound. They avoid any confrontation with motorised vehicles from the cycle lane. It annoys me when cars are parked in cycling lane inc council vehicles and police who fine others for similar misdeeds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you probably won't and just moan about another cyclist using the road without paying tax and insurance. Get over it, cyclists have every right to be on the same road as you and if you don't like it then tough. I ride on the road because I prefer to than use the same path as pedestrians which is a stupid idea in itself. Cycle lanes should be inputted into the road not foot paths, when you pass a cyclist just pass with care, it's not rocket science I always pass with care but some do not. I never mentioned anything about tax and insurance anyway. Why ride on the road when the council has spent significant amount of money just for cyclists. Don't go crying if you are involved in an accident on the road, even if it wasn't your fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reverse is clearly true - there's an army of them chomping at the thought of getting someone done for driving a bit too close Most cyclists don't even have a mirror, which demonstrates a total lack of driving awareness and contempt for other road users Your name certainly links with your thoughts.. Why would I need a mirror when I can simply turn my head round and get a full 90 deg turn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your question is stupid, you need to think a bit harder. It's like asking why does my bike need lights, when I can see cars mirror - less than a fiver, could save your life.
