Bicycles are for Children. Like masturbation, something you should grow
out of.
There is something seriously sick and stunted about grown men who want
to ride a bike."

Maybe this is why cyclists never give arm signals? Well that one will have
a bit more difficulty from now on.

Believe it or not (and this is going to be a really tough cookie to
swallow) some drivers don't actually take any notice of an arm signal.
All they do is try to get past a wee bit quicker in case the cyclist
decides to move over or turn in that direction.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????

Crappy driving at its worst.

Why should they? Cyclists are a bit dim.

Quite right. Who would want to be delayed by a sponging freeloader @ 12mph?

?????????????????????????????????????????????????

Crappy cycling at its worst.

Motorists pay £45 billion a year in extra taxes, specifically so they
can use the roads.
Only £10 billion of this is spent on roads.

QED.

The cyclist is crap because he signals. No, the cyclist is crap because
he does not signal. The cyclist is crap either way. Therefore with so
much ‘crappy’ cycling going on, drivers should take more care.

Missing the point again, dimwit.

Obviously cyclists are, in general, crap.

No motorist is going to trust the signal from a cyclist.

The logic is as follows;

He is riding a push bike.
A push bike isn't a viable form of transport.
Therefore he must be a bit thick.
If he is that thick, his signals can't be relied on.

So you cofirm cyclists signals are untrustworthy?

The logic is as follows;

He is riding a push bike.
A push bike isn't a viable form of transport.
Therefore he must be a bit thick.
If he is that thick, his signals can't be relied on.


Therefore take more care as you don't know what the idiot is going to do.


The 'idiot' bit is correct - for cyclists.

Simples!


Cyclists are.
