Are the the ones that hang out on Shoreham footbridge?

I was talking about cyclists. Why do you think that means I am turning a blind eye to car accidents? I'm not the ****ing BBC . I don't have to provide a balanced debate. I was talking about cyclists. If I talk about carrots do I also have to talk about peas? If I make a point about the sky, do I...

What's your point? This thread has zero to do with cars. I was talking about cyclists.

Is it?

It’s a lot easier than it looks.

People who smoke while cycling People who cycle with no hands on the handlebars People who cycle and use their phone, esp texts. Should be illegal. People who have stereo music blasting from their bike People who cycle with headphones on. I want bad things to befall these type of people.

I’m blessed with ears and eyes. Very rarely would I not be aware of a cycle or person approaching from behind. It’s really not that hard is it?

Why do I need a warning of their presence? I’m not about to be run over and I’m not about to run over them. Wait. Your. Bloody. Turn.

I have no problem with cycling on the bridge, plenty of room for all, but I have to bite my tongue when someone dings their bell behind me. I am fully aware of my surroundings and know when a cyclist is coming up behind. If I don't move it will only be because the bridge is busy. They need to...

Over 40k raised by the public to pay the fine.

I recall a few years ago, I was strolling through Brighton on my afternoon constitutional and emerged from a twitten, the one that used to have the dildo emporium on it, out onto middle street. I stepped into the road but hadn’t noticed a lady cyclist trundling along about 20 metres to my...

Shoreham footbridge. Cyclist bellends are always weaving in and out and ringing their bells. Does my swede in.

I’m talking about on the footbridge or towpath, the pavement and the square. Of course they need to use the bell if you’ve wandered into the cycle path or road. Triggar, you’re not a bad poster by any stretch but you don’t half have trouble understanding the point someone is making.

Agreed. In most places on mainland Europe people are far more considerate on the roads and pavements. At pelican crossings in cities such as Berlin, Amsterdam etc there is an understood etiquette; a few people cross and then let a few cars past, then the cars stop and let a few people across...

Agreed. There is a couple of groups of them who tear down East street and over the bridge of along the high street, pulling wheelies, cycling with no hands on the bars and getting right up close to pensioners and pushchairs. One of the ore bold ones tried to play chicken with me ( I was on foot)...

There is that, perhaps just hang back a bit and wait for an appropriate time to pass? So annoying when I do canal walks and every couple of minutes pairs of cyclists come along, ding ding, never a thank you, my mates and I flattening ourselves against a tunnel wall or dancing around trying not...

Same. I get annoyed when someone texts me and I’m walking!

I am out and about in the small hours for work and I continuously see lone females and teenagers walking down dark streets, head down and focussed on their phones utterly unaware of anything going on around them. Of course it would be solely the fault of the criminal if anything happened to...

It’s probably just me but I find it incredibly rude when cyclist ring their bells because they wish to get past pedestrians. How is that any different to someone who is walking faster then the person in front, getting behind then and yelling “OUT OF MY WAY”! ? Surely a polite “excuse me” or...
