Cyclist causes big crash with other cyclist after, well being a cyclist

So whilst having my daily chuckle on the daily fail I see this story...

Rider's risky overtake causes calamitous crash sending cyclists sprawling across the floor on a congested superhighway track

And it does indeed highlight the modern cyclist as someone who thinks they are in the Tour De France instead of going to work and races everywhere at top speed with total disregard for everything and everyone else.

Comments are pretty hilarious to read as well.

Should there be rules and regulations made to deal with these nu wave cyclists who treat the place like a special stage from the tour de france? Quite rightly mentioned that if a car did this to a cyclist there would be uproar over the car driver, yet these cyclists are riding without regard for others and are being downright dangerous to not only themselves but to other people.

I didn't say every cyclist was like this, but these nu-wave cyclists that get all lyrca cladded up are certainly a different breed, and seem to be the cyclist equivalent of the Audi/BMW driver of the motoring world.

It's ok for you making light-hearted jokes about it but for some of us it's a real problem!
I'm an Audi driver but also a lycra-clad cyclist, it causes me a lot of stress and confusion trying to work out when my God-given entitlement to the road is at it's strongest.
Things will be a lot simpler once the rest of the population accept that I am the primary road user in any situation and get off my roads.

My god, you have reached peak evolution.....

Erm... you're talking about 99% of people in this section then

Hey, I didn't move this here.
