Cyclists - its been said before but you chumps on bikes piss me off.....5 out of 6 cyclists that I saw this mornging were breaking the law - and yet when I don't giove you room or come close to knocking you off your bike - usually cos your in the wrong place I get in the sh*t. Well here it is boys and girls, 5 out of 6 times I'm not gioving you room on the road, the other time I will.
Sounds like the crappy commute I had today. First off being almost being hooked by a car steaming through a junction just to get 25 meters up the road 5 seconds quicker. Followed by a transit van steaming through the same junction who did not bother with the give way rules - lucky we both braked - for me.
This is a usual occurance and other stuff includes abuse hurled my way or distracted drivers either chatting or even sometimes texting on their phones, p*ssed up drivers, drivers who try to intimidate me by using their transport as a weapon, (I won't mention the company that this driver so professionally represented). Getting buzzed or almost "doored".
There are dicks who drive there are dicks who ride bikes. Both car drivers, (the herd as I like to affectionately call them), and cyclists have the right to use the road safely.
I reckon the roads would all be a bit more safer if people got a grip and did not lose the plot over something that sounds like an inconvience to me. Mind you I always feel that driving brings out the worst in some people.
