CYCLING AND ROAD RAGE

[Bod[_5_]]

IS SOCIAL MEDIA MAKING THE SITUATION WORSE?
There seems to be much antagonism between cyclists and motorists on
roads nowadays, but where does this come from? Motoring journalist
Quentin Willson states that “There’s a “huge antipathy” between people
on bikes and in cars…We’ve got a minority of cyclists and car drivers
who are aggressive. It results in a war of attrition between two and
four wheels.”

They also get jailed for attacking their own kind.

Road rage between car drivers happens on a daily basis.
These people need to chill out and get a life.

Dear o dear! When I'm driving my car I always back right off whenever
there is a learner car in front. I'm sure it takes the pressure off of
the learners a bit. I give them all the time that they need.
The last thing they need is a bad tempered **** like that behind them.

Cyclists SOP. When accused of law breaking, find someone worse, ignoring
the fact that they represent 99% of passenger journeys instead of
cyclists 1%.

Now, back to the subject. Why do people hate cyclists?

They are annoying, sanctimonious ****s. They are sponging freeloaders.
They whinge all the time. They always want something done just for them.

Oh, and they look like bell ends.

This entire thread was started by a person who admits to, defends and is
proud of driving at 120mph on the motorway.
He also admits to, defends and is proud of jumping red traffic lights.
Just what kind of person would commit these shocking offences, defend their
action and be proud?
He is a cyclist.

Does/did he also drive a car with non-functioning windscreen wipers
across northern Europe?

I really enjoy looking like a bell end.
I take that as a great compliment.

It comes from thousands and thousands of motorists seeing cyclists breaking the
law every single day.

Next question?
