I live in the country. I have lycra clads taking up a single lane on country roads with double whites, no alternative but to sit at 10-15k. It would be so easy for them to move over but they don't. I could break the law and overtake against the road markings but I choose not to. I'm patient and can wait but it is the attitude of the lycra clad that makes it more antagonistic than it should be. If you add that to the things they do in traffic I've been subjected to the likes of use my side mirrors to launch themselves. I'm not a fan of bike riders.

Edit: Before you label me as a car nut. I walk more than I drive. I drive maybe 500KM a year, probably much less and we have shared spaces here for ped/bikes. Adult bike riders are just rude and entitled.



If they moved over and you overtook, you would probably still be breaking the law, and putting their life at risk. The lanes are not designed for a car and bike side by side safely. And the edges on country roads are pretty treacherous.

Cyclists are actually instructed to ride in the middle of the lane for safety reasons to prevent cars trying to lane share with them. It's not just to show off their gear.


They could all stop and let the line of cars tailing them go on every now and then. I've been in a line of about twenty cars once stuck behind them. I've also been stuck behind an old lady(cliche coming up) driving a Volvo who never went over 40k and sat between 20 and 40 in late afternoon traffic from Bangalow to Lismore so it's not just bikes, it's people with no consideration for others.

Getting held up once here and there by a bike compared to bikes getting near misses by cars on the road nearly every ride.

Yeah, just like in the movies, eh? Because that always happens in real life, a group of people standing around looking in one spot at exactly the same time to see a bike flip over with someone sticking a walking stick in the spokes in stuntman like style. And then they all start spontaneously clapping.

You have obviously never been to a shopping centre at a bus stop, have you?
Oh, that's right
You never actually get out from behind your computer, do you.

There is a real world out there buddy.
One with real people doing real things
In 60 years I have seen a Hell of a lot of the real world.
Perhaps if you travelled more than 3 klm from you hovel, you might see some of it too.

It was at north Ryde, at the university entrance to the Macquarie shopping centre.
Pretty busy place, and very often frequented by lycra clad loony thugs.
I'm sure others woukd have been here, and may have even witnessed it.

FOOL.

Not in the slightest.

Just look at them.

They are either skinny pathetic twerp or fat old guys squeezed into lycra so strained that it could explode like a balloon in no time.

They think they own the road.
They like to act tough, but quickly back down when confronted.

Simple of mind, they take on vehicles many times their weight, and think they can win.
But what's the point  if you are in a wheelchair?

I have no time for them.
But they treat pedestrians, kids, old people and cars as objects of insult.
What makes them think they are any better or deserve any more than any other road users or pedestrian?

Number plates must become mandatory
It's the only way to weed out the morons from people who genuinely behave themselves and ride sensibly.

Thugs by name, thugs by nature.
Or hood ornaments, all the same to me.

If that makes you happy, go for It?
I can't be bothered arguing with stupidity.

I fear no one,
Because they don't know just how far I am willing to go.

Why do you call them thugs? You said it was because they are fat old men in lycra. Just trying to make sense is all. That's not the usual imagery that springs to mind when you here the word thug. What are these 'experiences'?

A thug to me is anyone who thinks they are tough
But only around those they have some power over.
Some cops are thugs, because you won't take them on because they have guns.
Some lycra clad loonies are thugs because they manipulate laws and terrorise old people and kids.
Troll are not thugs, because they frighten no one.
They are just sad, sad no matter individuals, eh horny?
