Sit down bicycles on a public road

I don't mind the ones who understand the highway code and are actually aware of what's going on around them. Unfortunately they seem to be in the minority.
 
What is a sit down bicycle? Is it one of those yokes that you lie backwards in with you feet out in front?

I God, I saw one of those in Plymouth a little while back, I, and the person I was with just burst out laughing because the guy looked like such a ****. I can't imagine cycling up a steep hill on one ;s.

You probably saw the same guy who gets in my way at least twice a month. He cycles down the dual carriageway into town in the OUTSIDE lane..
 
i dont really see the point to them myself.
awful looking things and look so embarrassing to ride.

the vast majority of the people that ride them round this way tend to be older men with beards almost skelatol looking.
kind of remind me of my geography teacher from way back in high school

I think this legally qualifies you to run him down.

Lol dude, next time have a second look. There are 2 of them in Farnham that regularly ride past my house. Oh, by the way, THEY BOTH HAVE NO LEGS!! (Therefore I think they are allowed, non? :))

Very nice folks too, the blokes stops and always asks what on earth else I have found to mod when I am out working on one of the cars :).

Other than that, the people that are gifted with legs, utter fail. There is also one in Farnborough that I saw regularly that also had the equivalent of a towbar on it and had a little reverse pram-type thing on it with two gormless less kids that use to stare out of it and traffic going past them! :D. I have to admit on the old scoob with ultra loud custom exhaust system, I used to give it a rev and a flame sometimes when passing them just out of annoyance when they held up a ton of traffic, oops :rolleyes:

Some loon was riding one on the road between totnes and avonwick, I came around the bend and there he was in the middle of the bloody road ! Luckily there was no one coming the other way.
 
They cant see over cars, and can easily be hidden behind them too! so I would never use one in town, Its bad enough on a normal bike!
 
These bikes also cost around £1000 :eek:
(I couldn't belive the price went i saw a secondhand one in my local rag for £750 a few weeks ago)
