The laws of the road apply to all road users, including cyclists.
I went to visit someone the other day, while standing on their doorstep I
heard someone shouting foul abuse, I turned to look and saw a lycra lout shouting at a woman driver, the cyclist had tried to undertake as she negotiated a speed bump on a downhill section of road and he seemed to think it was his absolute right to undertake and that she should be aware of his stupidity and take avoiding action. She was too refined to smack him one, as many would have. It beggars belief the situations that cyclists put themselves into and then try to blame others. |

I had pulled across the road to park against the traffic flow in a designated space, one of the last things to expect is a mad cyclist speeding along the pavement in the wrong direction. He was wearing Lycra so he was obviously a tourist, I will be glad when the season is finally over. ennemm |

You didn't see what the driver did to cause it. Usual scenario, go to overtake cyclist, not quite complete and stamp on the brake for speed bump. Cyclist cut off on inside with nowhere to go. You're still as clueless as ever. (And don't even think about mentioning your usual theme of "I thought bicycles were supposed to have infinite braking ability" - it is obvious the cyclist did whatever avoidance was necessary.) |

I had seen the car coming down the hill while I knocked at the door, there was no cyclist in front, as it is a fair old hill it would seem that the cyclist was travelling faster than the car (easy with a hill and no speed bumps to contend with) and instead of making an overtake , he went for an undertake, which is a pretty silly move and illegal. |

You give every appearance of not knowing the meaning of either of those words. Have you ever admitted you're wrong about anything? Have I ever been wrong about anything? |
