Sorry but i have to say this -all these fookin cyclists since that bloke from Wrightington won the tour de france.
They are usually podgy middle aged blokes with red faces in the main and out in all weathers wearing the wrong gear.
No lights or high visability clothing makes it very hard for drivers trying to spot these clowns especially when the weather is bad like this week.How many rush hour tailbacks are caused (far far too many im sure) because some prat cyclist bore wants to brag to his work colleagues that he has biked it to work?
I apologise for this rant and i exclude experienced cyclists who conform to basic cycling proficiency but im getting fed up avoiding head on collisions with other vehicles because they or i have had to overtake some wayward cyclist who thinks hes Bradley Wiggins.
They are everywhere and most of them havent a clue what they are doing-time for the police to start pulling this lot over because the amount of dangerous cycling i see is beyond the joke!
Once again sorry to experienced safe cyclists!Sorry but i have to say this -all these fookin cyclists since that bloke from Wrightington won the tour de france.

Once again sorry to experienced safe cyclists!sorry vince :blush:
Same as with most things Vince, you get some decent ones but also a bunch of wankers.
Like posters ;)
Have a look at the ‘Bradley Wiggins…..F*ck off!’ thread on mudhutsmedia Vince, I think it’s in the question of sport section.
You’ll find some like minded views mate, mine included!

Just read them John very very funny and so true.
I thought the cycling plebs would disappear when the winter set in but i saw one on his push rod last night in monsoon weather-why dont they go away ?They’ll go away when they get charged a couple of hundred quid for using the road, and when fixed penalty fines are dished out for cycling like a gobshite!
Right, I’m going to defend this a bit, or at least justify my own personal bike-riding.
I’m a relatively new cyclist but I am pre-Bradley Wiggins and have two genuine reasons why I got into it.
1) my 8-year old wanted a bike and I started to ride with him
2) I needed to keep fit, hate running, have dodgy feet and knees and when I started cycling I lost 10lb in 4 weeks.However, I agree that many of them think they own the road and I particularly hate it when you see them riding two abreast. I never, ever do that because I have no mates ;)
Please tell me you don’t wear the full regalia?!
Go on what colour are your spandex shorts!10lb in 4 weeks is good griff, but I lose £20 in 4 weeks eating bacon butties and drinking tea behind the wheel of my transit van, I suggest to be accepted into the road using community you make a voluntary donation to the dvla, or at least take your lad out at the weekend filling in potholes with Tarmac.
One thing Griff, an this is important, please ensure that you wear a helmet at all times, as the sun bouncing off your head will cause temporary blindness to any drivers behind you ;)

Go on what colour are your spandex shorts!I’m afraid so, but they’re plain black. It’s no different to wearing a football kit to play football or swimming trunks at the baths. The riding is hard enough work without making it harder wearing baggy clothes
One thing Griff, an this is important, please ensure that you wear a helmet at all times, as the sun bouncing off your head will cause temporary blindness to any drivers behind you ;)I do, but only because the wife insists on it. To me, the helmet is more offensive than the shorts.
‘Tis true, there are some eejit cyclists.
There are also some brave and hardy souls still cycling in the shorter days of winter.
To anyone thinking about the road tax issue. Are you assuming that they don’t also drive a car / motorbike / something else you might pay road tax for ? – so are already contributing to the deteriorating state of our roads.
It’s saying something about how dangerous cycling is when people like Bradley Wiggins get thrown off his bike.Why oh why do they cycle in conditions that aren’t safe? The roads are far too narrow and dangerous to support the amount of cyclists cluttering up the roads at present.
I saw a group tonight in the pouring rain without viz wear or lights and dicing with death as cars and hgvs sped past them.They are an almighty pain in the @rse(no pun intended) and the sooner this unsafe mid life crisis craze passes the better.I agree ..I just come back from paper shop on my Chopper with tazzles hanging from my handle bars,half a lolly stick flicking my back wheel spokes doing wheelies .When six guys in full racing gear rode pass me and I could hear them sniggering at me .Not fair.
Even the experienced cyclists get knocked of there bikes like that chubster WigginsReally fat Bradley Wiggins isn’t he
