Selfish moron cyclist causes jam on the M25

*sigh*

A man has been found cycling on the M25 in Surrey, police said.

Officers were alerted by drivers who had seen the man, who was dressed in
black, pedalling on the hard shoulder near the junction with the M3.

Hannah Leonard tweeted: "My usual 40 minute commute to work took an hour and
a half due to a cyclist on the m25!"

Surrey Roads Police tweeted: "Cyclist stopped and after a long conversation
he has been safely removed with his copy of his ticket for £50."

The force tweeted that the man, who was seen between junctions 12 and 13,
had been looking for a shorter route to cycle home from work.

"Phone app sent him on motorway so thought it ok," it added.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Now that is funny. What speed was he
doing, mate? Over 70 mph?

Perhaps I should look up the stories of motorists who go in cycle lanes
or the wrong way down motorways. Or would that be OT?

This proves the need for licencing and testing very clearly.

Was it the cyclist who caused the traffic - or the erm... traffic
which caused the traffic?

You are right as ever: the cyclist did no wrong.

(I despair for those kids that you "taught")

It would make a change from those voices in your head....

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."

The latter, of course. Cyclists _are_ traffic, albeit in a very space
efficient form.

Not on motorways, they aren't.
