Driver threatened to 'run cyclist over' in terrifying road rageassault caught on camera
But I do USE it (as I just explained). As for being "mobility scooter"? how many mobility scooters can do 30mph plus. Just as a side issue, do you feel the need to wear head protection on your electric bicycle? No. I much prefer to cycle without a cycle helmet, but then I don't do too much cycling in busy traffic. Do you use your bike in heavy traffic, much? No, country roads, but mostly off road. Oh, right... sounds great fun! I'm sure I wouldn't wear any head protection under those circumstances either. Well, never say never, but I would prefer not to, certainly. Indeed and it is great fun. -- Bod |

Off-roading and time trialling were the only times that I made a point of wearing a helmet, the former because I was quite likely to fall off at moderate speed, sometimes backwards, and the latter for aerodynamic advantage (plus I was likely to be riding head-down, not normally a problem on the courses I rode but you never know ...) |

Understood, but I personally don't do any of those activeties. -- Bod |

Understood, but I personally don't do any of those activeties. Regular utility or recreational cycling doesn't require any special clothing, including funny hats (although I'd avoid jeans for several reasons). Even with footwear, which is responsible for transmitting motive force to the machine, what you normally wear off the bike is often good enough. I have one bike with clippy pedals, all the rest have flats that work for army boots, trainers, loafers or dress shoes (I haven't tried platforms, heels, wellies or rigger boots, but I suspect they mostly wouldn't be so good). |

Unfortunately the bus did not turn left. |

Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson" LOL), the Sociopathic Attention Whore
On Wed, 11 Oct 2017 22:27:29 +0100, Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson"),
the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again: I actually saw a cyclist undertake a bus at traffic light this morning Just because the bus was not indicating to turn left does not mean it is not going to turn left. Unfortunately the bus did not turn left. If something isn't indicating let, it has no right to turn left. Anyone who can't use an indicator should have their license removed instantly. He wasn't talking to you, Birbrain and he thinks you are a piece of ****, yet you KEEP trying to have a conversation with him. Have you NO shame at all, you filthy sociopath? -- Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) about himself: " I have no plans to make children. The world is already too full, and I admit I'm not the healthiest best looking person Only healthy fit good looking people should reproduce." MID: |
