Driving too Close to Cyclist offence
- Thread starter BigUnit
- Start date
An unconscious bias then.
Close passes on cyclist will always get the cycling brigade talking as it happens so often to cyclist.Bloody hell
I Dare not read all these comments in case they are unkind lol
I will let you know the outcome.
On a different note.
I just bumped into Neil Bauser on Carnaby Street.

Oh and I got my 4-1 Boro guess correct
First one ever like
I wouldn't beat yourself up on it either way as you clearly thought you were doing the right thing in giving cyclists room.
I am sure I speak for all in that we are all waiting with bated breath to see the photo. ;)

And thus proving my point. The simple fact is you CAN'T defend cyclists breaking the law without saying "but motorists"How Many Padestrians Do Cyclists Injure Per Year In The Uk?

".....the cycling brigade....." ?
You mean people who use bicycles.
Like calling drivers "the car brigade".
As if one brush covers all, in order to frame an argument.
Doesn't fit in with the critical mind.
This is an interesting episode of Matt Stephens "Cafe Ride" series - with Andrew Ridgeley [Ex-Wham] (y)

Cant beat a bike>>>>
40 cyclists set off from Holyrood House in Edinburgh in 2013, to London, to raise funds for SSAFA.
500 miles in 5 days via Carlisle, Harrogate, Derby and Cambridge.
Finally ending up down The Mall and in to Wellington Barracks for sandwiches and white wine in the Officer's Mess.

Your figures are wrong in that small town asked how many were injured by cyclist breaking the law and I believe the figure you gave was for the total number of injuries involving Cyclist and pedestrians.How Many Padestrians Do Cyclists Injure Per Year In The Uk?

There is no suggestion that all 462 were caused by cyclist braking the law. many accidents are simply that accidents such as walking in-front of a cyclist.
Its difficult to find the exact number that relates to red light jumping but there was an article from cycling UK that said the number of pedestrians seriously injured from red light jumpers by cyclist was 17 this was over an eight year period so approximately 2 per year.

Ah, cheers Pete. @SmallTown so it is 2. Much like the deaths then! I won’t say ‘but motorists’ in this case, just highlight that so the dreadful crime of lawbreaking on a bicycle the consequences to pedestrians are super minimal. Not sure why people get their knickers in a twist.
In a totally unrelated issue I am launching a campaign of hate against bees and wasps. They are responsible for up to 9 deaths a year in the UK. This is disgusting and these flying criminals are getting away with it!!! I am demanding number plates on the insects and for them to be in possession of insurance. It is the only way to end this travesty.

The lowest form of wit they call it. Still how did I expect a conversation with cyclists to go a social media. I honestly think, as far as obsession and how violently they defend their opinion it’s worse and more pointless than talking to a brexiteer. You’re never going to have an open conversation about things.Don't get me started on bees and wasps. Do you know that they don't even pay aviation tax
My mistake for engaging

I’m more concerned with the wasps
But the highest form of intelligence ;)
Its such a problem, their is a certain type of MAMIL roaming the streets giving everyone a good hiding and telling them its all the car drivers fault whilst jumping every red light doing wheelies in front of traffic and deliberately riding at 10mph 2 a breast to hold everyone up. You see it everywhere its a disgrace.

Wasn’t there a woman killed by a cyclist running a red light in London a little while back (yes I think he was riding a special race bike without brakes but the point stands, it seems a dangerous idea to allow it in my non-cycling, non-professional opinion)
Before I get jumped on, I do my best to respect cyclists re overtaking etc. I have no truck with responsible cyclists at all.
They are called fixed wheel bikes they are specifically for the track and should be banned on the road.
You see lots in London.
Edit He didn't run a red light he was done because apparently the bike is / was illegal

Yeah I thought it was termed fixed wheel but wasn’t sure I was right. Cheers
