Sometimes it's just a matter of looking at the culprit. Their body
language will indicate whether they understand they made a mistake, in
which case nothing further is required. If they are knowingly doing
something wrong it is probably best to get as much separation from them
as possible.


Yes, I can only agree with that.

Better to take it out on the ignorants that infest this group.

Please don't refer to them as that, yes many are mentally challenged,
but they are, after all, cyclists, so you must cut them some slack.

To remind you that this is uk.rec.cycling. I doubt whether an infestee
can infest its own habitat.

How many cars have you crashed in your time? If you're trying to turn
poacher to gamekeeper it would be interesting to see how you would be
treated in what ought to be your natural habitat.

We know little of "Mr Cheerful"'s ability on a bicycle; it might even be
non-existent. That might go a little way towards explaining his total
lack of concern for vulnerable road-users.
Personally, I think he's a sociopath.

I have good abilities at riding a bicycle, motorcycle, car, vans, and
even LGV1
I taught motorcycle roadcraft for many years and have undergone advanced
Police driving courses and I am very proficient on the skidpan.

I am very careful not to run anyone over or crash into anyone.

It ****es me off when incompetents **** the system up by breaking every
rule in the book and even those of common sense, most often this is
demonstrated by cyclists, which is why I will no longer ride a bicycle
on the road. It is just too embarassing to be associated with the
rabble of scum that ride bicycles nowadays.

I drove a few miles today, and during that time I saw 6 cyclists and
everyone of them was breaking the most basic law of the road, by riding
on a footway.

Bicycles could be great again, but only if they are regulated and
controlled.

Self assessment doesn't work. That sort of attitude is dangerous.

Police driving courses and I am very proficient on the skidpan.

Most people don't make a habit of crashing and, by a combination of
luck and judgement, quite a few get through a lifetime.

In the past, you have admitted to crashing.

How many of them are going to be looking at uk.rec.cycling?

Plenty of rules already exist over the use of bicycles on public roads.
A system that isn't broken - people getting around without harming
anybody - doesn't need fixing.

Oh, he probably does have concern for vulnerable road-users. It is
rather curious why he does not direct his energies at those that are
actually harming vulnerable road users.

Personally, I think he's a sociopath.


His method of posting just makes one want to say "stuff you" and liable
to promote anarchy in an audience. It would produce the same reaction if
he posted equivalent stuff on motoring groups. He doesn't because an
audience of peers would be much less tolerant.
