Cyclists must be licenced and identifiable
Oct 9^th, 2021 at 7:08am

Lycra clad loonies at it again.

They demand protection from motorists, but run down pedestrians when ever they like.

It appears that riding a bike makes you the most important person on earth and everyone and everything should give you your way.

We need to organise a lycra clad loony bike ride through a lion park, to prove to them they arent the alphas they think they are.

Do you actually know any actual, real cyclists on a personal basis?

Or do you form your 'opinions' based upon on bullshit like this, from the
rightly-discredited tabloid media?

The story is almost certainly a fabrication, intended to run on a slow-news
day specifically to get the terminally outraged and the congenitally ignorant
(often the same people) reaching for their pitchforks and lighting the fires
under the vats of oil.

And, sadly, idiots swallow it every time.

or, it could just be that she didn't even see the bike coming up behind her, and with her dog jumped in front of it leaving the cyclist no chance to avoid her

... wonder how that one would work out if a car hit a pedestrian ...... hmmmm .....

My experience with some bike riders is they are complete idiots and think they have all entitlements and no responsibility.

It's not just a feminist thing after all... the world is full of self-important idiots...

Down to the roads people, get your licence for a fee, get your mandatory lycra over-shirt with number on it.... learn the road rules...... cop a fine if you break them....

Nice to see you aren't having a hysterical over-reaction Valkie.

Yes, it would be hard to imagine anyone going off like a Lycra clad loony who thinks his 1.5 metre space is invaded.

I suggest you go and look up the meaning of the phrase, 'almost certainly'.

Then get back to me.

Just for the record:

1/ I've been riding bicycles since 1962 (I was four).

2/ I've been riding them on the road since 1966.

3/ I have NEVER worn Lycra in my life.

4/ I have NEVER hit a pedestrian, either on the road or on a path. Nor have I hit any other vehicle.

5/ Contrary to your generalisation, I NEVER force my right-of-way when on the bike - even when entitled to.

6/ I have NEVER claimed to be the most important person on Earth - whether on the bike or off.

You have a very good riding record, i have been riding since i was 5 and have a similar record, boardies and thongs are my preferred biking attire not lycra, that would be weird.
