Damn it sounds like some people think all cyclists are reckless.

In an ideal world all road users would have a little more awareness and consideration for fellow road users. However the ideal world doesn't exist as this thread demonstrates!

I actually think the people here are very aware (beside the odd few) of cyclists and give them the room required. Just because people here are annoyed by cyclists it doesn't mean they go and run them over. As for the consideration, it goes two ways, don't block roads where we can't get past you. Thanks.

Did clarkson say stuff about cyclists and some fan of clarkson actually took it as an order and killed some cyclists?

Are you defending people who drive without insurance? That is what the comment is about, not saying that all drivers are scum.

This is what I was meaning. It was not aimed at all drivers as I would be calling myself scum too

Making stuff up harms your credibility.

As does wearing tight lycra and cycling.

Or putting a car you dont own in your sig.

I'm not making stuff up :rolleyes:

, I'm asking a question and I dont wear lycra. Nothing wrong with putting a car in my sig, I'd never own one with a Nvidia vinyl on anyway.

You honestly think some people went out and murdered a few cyclists becuase Jeremy Clarkson said he didnt like them?

Seems like some nutters have.

So before you try and tell me I'm making stuff up maybe you should do research, there is also another link about this somewere that talks about what actually happened but I havent found it yet.

What, like you've proved you are absolutely rubbish at doing?

You said people were murdered. The link makes no mention of this.

And you are clearly rubbish at teling the difference between a question and someone telling you something.

If you read that post again you'll see I was asking if that is what happened, from the article I read a while ago I think thats what happened so I was asking anyone on here, I linked to an article that has something to do with what has been going on.

:rolleyes:

Everyone who has home insurance, this is fact.

No it isn't. Not all home insurance comes with personal liability insurance. And not all home insurance that includes personal liability insurance covers accidents that occur while cycling.

Not that I work for a company that sells insurance or anything...

I will have to bow to your superior knowledge then

, all I know is that I am covered and many in this thread have made the same comment. Will you accept though that some cyclist do have insurance?
Edit Scuzi, apologies can I change my comment?
