are cycles suitable transport for the poor quality roads we have?

[Mrcheerful[_3_]]

if a (not very big) pothole can cause a rotation over the handlebars, is a
pushbike a safe means of transport ?

and what happened to watching the road ahead and being able to stop in a few
inches?

Seems like cyclists want everything, yet don't pay for it.

"I saw the massive hole, but it was too late. "

Obviously going too fast - probably racing.

Cyclists, like almost everyone, pay taxes, which are thrown away by
whichever government is in power!

All cyclists are always going too fast for the conditions if they are involved in a crash. All cycle crashes are probably the result of the cyclist concerned being in a race.
The same reasoning cannot be applied to motor vehicles.

Of course roadusers other than cyclists who crash are mostly blameless

Usually, yes.

And in any collision between a cyclist and a non cyclist the cyclist should be dragged behind a car untill all his skin is raw and then dipped in vinegar whilst hanging on hooks placed in his eye sockets

Harsh, but fair, and they should thank the motorist for doing it.

For a start, a six-inch wide pothole would not make me crash by driving over
it. That's partly because it isn't enough to cause me to lose control and
partly because I watch for deformed road surfaces and do my best to avoid the
worst of them (whether by steering or an adjustment of speed, or both).

Easily enough arranged.

But surely a bit *too* harsh?

But they don't pay an extra tax specifically to use a vehicle on the road.

Excellent - four more random words.

Come back Numb-nuts - all is forgiven.

Hello it's Nobhead Lewis:
--
Justin (Nobhead) van Lewis has been caught using the following names:
FrontMech
Billsgate
Ricky Bikebloke
Sedentary IgnorantPopulist
J.M.Messie

Jacqueline Lewis-Wintjens
He has denied using some - but he refuses to confirm or deny using them all
- even when the evidence is presented to him.

Justin van Lewis is a proven liar.

Don't think he rides a push bike any more. After all, you have to be a
complete prick to be a cyclist.

Even though there are hundreds of thousand cyclists, but if there were not
so many prick vehicle drivers that would make the roads a lot safer!
