UK an offended nation

There's only one thing worse than those who use the road tax argument against cyclists. It's those who come in with their John Major voice and correct them with the VED spiel.

Y'all need to chill out.

I'm not a regular cyclist, but I'm led to believe this is a recommended practice to put drivers off of overtaking when there's a small amount of room on a dangerous stretch of road, and also to make the cyclists more visible? Not completely sure though...

I cycle and am happy to 'take' the lane if conditions of the road make it unsafe not to ie your example. Not sure about riding 5 abreast.

Haha been there. Walk into a house and wonder what the hell they're watching whilst screeching with laughter :eek:. Power goes off to much protest :D.
 
Cyclists in central London can be complete dicks a lot of the time, unlike cars they never slow down and give way and crossing some roads in the West End area can be very dangerous, it's like they never heard of breaks.

As for the Offence nation, yes it's gone far too far and i see it getting worse before a huge backlash happens

When I used to do IT callouts, I once had to sit at a PC for 3 hours trying to fix something while the clients kid watched Peppa Pig on repeat. Damn near pulled my hair out :(

Or brakes.

The cycle couriers are the worst, they're suicidal maniacs.

Well cyclists don't pay any road tax. So they should stay of the roads for starters.

Cyclists certainly should pay to use the road and so should horse riders and bloody caravans.

If you can tell me where I can buy some road tax I will buy some for my two cars and 4 bikes and I will also buy yours.

Regardless, Cyclists don't pay any sort of tax, insurance etc etc...

They need to stay of the road or accept they are a hazard on the road knowing it might be their last day.

Please, tell me more. Would save myself a bloody fortune if I didn't have to pay any tax.

Everyone on the road just needs to chill out a bit. If a cyclist rides like a moron, they're going to get themselves run over. If a motorist drives like a moron, they're going to run someone over or get themselves into a nasty accident. If everyone follows the rules of the road and develops some patience everyone might actually get to where they want to go in one piece.
