Cyclists are like lemmings

Yet another following sat nav onto a motorway, how thick are they? Why
don't they get sat nav that supports cycling?

Nearly as dim as these London cyclists that keep going up the inside of
tipper lorries at junctions, they hear one has died doing it so they all
try it.

"It is the third time this year police have been called to deal with a
cyclist pedalling along a Surrey motorway.

In February, a cyclist was fined £50 after a mobile phone app sent him
onto the M25 between junctions 11 and 12 , for Chertsey and the M3.

And in March, another cyclist was fined after again following an app
onto the M3 westbound, between Sunbury and the M25 junction".

Unbelievable. How can they be that dim?

kept flowing)

Liar. Not all bicyclists try it.

Agreed that bicyclists who do such stupid things are dim.

I trust that they took his bicycle registration number and his personal
details, and that he will now be prosecuted.

I wonder if you are daft, then you are more likely to become a cyclist.

Or - does cycling actually make you daft.

I don't think that they have to be tested on the Highway Code before they are
allowed on the highway. Most of them do seem to be quite ignorant of the
requirements.

Unless of course they think that just because there is no law which says that
cyclists need to stop at red-lights, or no law saying that they must not cycle
on the pavement - then they can do just what they like.

If 80 percent of cyclists are car drivers I would imagine that a fair
number of them should be familiar with the Highway Code, yet perhaps
cycling takes away blood from the brain and prevents logical thought?
It could explain a lot.
