....and they can ignore traffic lights but expect motorist to stop so they can ride across a pedestrian crossing.
One way streets are two way for cyclists. Lights at night are optional.

Absolutely, and when you get too close they give you the 'look of death' !! Another cyclist pet hate is when they insist on cycling in huge groups, two or three side by side which not only gives my horse a nervous breakdown but when I can't get past them driving it infuriates me so much!!!! I'm going to get someone else to drive and I'll be a passenger and carry a stick to put through the spokes of their wheel and watch them fail! Sitting here writing this two yobs walked past my house, past the lay-by with my boyfriends BM (This one has indicators yay!!) and my 'fender and one spat on the BM window!!! I screamed out at them, funnily enough the one that did it couldn't even turn around and look at me, his weedy friend did though. Just because they spend their lives smoking drugs and living for free does NOT give them a right to that! Needless to say I am fuming. Unfortunately they don't look like they can afford deodorant let alone a car so I can't spit on theirs... |

Best bit is if you hit a cyclist going down a one way street the wrong way at best it seems to be 50/50 :evil: Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

Meanwhile, back to the cyclists.
I've long had it in mind to rig up something like a Ki-gas pump, filled with old oil and connected to a nice hot bit of the exhaust.....one quick squirt (when you've managed to get past the s*ds) and a splendid cloud of black smoke ensues. |

Very "James Bond"
 Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

A few years ago I'd just bought a young Irish Sport Horse and the first time out on the road with my then wife on her horse 2 lycra clad poufs came hareing past out of nowhere. The first thing any of us knew was the whoosh as they went past, not exactly giving much room either. The poor Irish feller had a week before only known the lush pastures of County Wexford and these frightening things were like aliens to him! He just leapt about 10' in the air with all four legs off the ground but when his feet touched the tarmac my whip was on his backside and we were in pursuit! Not heeding my wifes cries, my blood was up and I must o chased them for a good mile and a half through the village and out into the countryside beyond before the young feller started to tire! I must admit it was highly amusing to see those lycra clad buttocks pumping away in front, if I'd have caught them I'd have flattened them, as I was giving them fair warning of at the time! One thing about it, that horse was never spooked by cyclists again, in fact you had to keep an eye on him just in case he lashed out at those that were brave enough to overtake, and those that he caught up with, he'd either bite them or just charge them!
Don't get me started about driving tractors when they have their damned "road races", nobody else is allowed to race on the Queens Highway so why them? |

As a cyclist and someone who earned a living in the cycle trade, I'd have to agree with the above

I have a nearside exit pipe on my 7.
A couple of years ago, at the traffic lights, some young dude in a black Corsa, with an account at Burberry and wearing his hat back-to-front, 42Kw audio, gave me "that look" and hit his loud pedal. Frankly it was loud so in the spirit of the game I gave my right foot a bit of a twitch and my passenger reported "the paint is bubbling off his door". Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! |
