cyclists on the road

quit your whinging! - it could be worse:

i.e:

YouTube - Bike Messengers - Drag Race NYC. Music by ÜBERDOSE!

 

you stated a valid point mate ..no problems there ! .. everyones entitled to an opinion.. it is a forum after all..seems people just write stuff just to get a reaction .. doesnt take long for someone to bite generally

 

Lets not even DELVE into that subject...

People having better things to while than driving... WHEN THEIR DRIVING!!

On 2 occasions i've seen people driving and READING!!!!

Like... seriously... lol

 

i second that :thumbsup:

 

At least with cars/motorbikes/trucks 95% of the people on the road have passed a test to say they can be there. Not saying they are all good drivers, but at some stage they've all had to prove they have some level of competency. With a bicycle anybody can hop on, without anything to say they are competent and drive on the road, along with the motorists

 

Idiots. Its like that in Melbourne sometimes. I've almost taken cyclists out while i've had a green light because they come rushing through the red. Also nearly been cleaned up getting off of a tram, obviously the whole STOP thing doesnt apply to them. Also seen one leeching a ride off of an SS's spoiler up Lonsdale street

 

thats because generally weve been riding them since we were about 3 yrs old .. can u ride a bike ? .. if told u required a licence i guess you would be ok with that ?

 

I actually agree with that comment.

YES I can ride a bike BUT I am not 100% sure of the road rules when riding a bike. I can drive a car and know the rules that apply when driving but are rules for bikes different?

 

You rekcon that's good, last time I was in Melbourne I was in a tram and looking down in amazment at a buisness suit guy writing in a book he had laying on the streering wheel of his Commodore while driving along, I don't know how long he was going to do this for but I watched him for the whole length of a major road in heavy stop start traffic

 

which is the whole point of this thread really ..its wether or not u stick to those rules .. be it car or bike

 

Yes i can ride a bike, and yes i would be fine if i had to hold a license to be able to ride a bike on the road.

You have to hold a:

Car Licence to ride a car
Truck Licence to drive a truck (many different types but for my example will lump them in one)
Motorcycle Licence to drive a Motorbike
Gun Licence for a Gun
Boat Licence for a Boat
Fishing Licence to Fish

So why different for a bicycle rider?

 

that is my real forum account. and your a moderator are you? yeah right. nothing gutless here, fool....

 

:rofl:.. cant argue with that .. but wouldnt it be nice if we lived in a world were you didnt have to have them .. at least for some things .. i mean , where do you stop.. maybe we should have a licence to live :thumbsup:

p.s its DRIVE a car
an RIDE a bike !

 

Hmm joined a Car club as a cyclist just as a cyclist thread shows up..... LOL whos the fool?

 

Because you magically found a Commodore forum to join on the exact day when a topic about Cyclists was being discussed...hmmmm

 

The SS can go 0-100 in under 6 seconds......... can the bike?

As far as leeching a ride off someone's car is concerned... that's just plain rude.

All in all i have no problems with cyclists. I think the ones with the grudges against drivers are just fedup with the abuse and general sh!t they cop on the roads.

 

LMAO, of course cars take up car parks, it's what they are for, what's your point? As for being a moderator, we are entitled to opinions you know, we aren't mindless idiots who don't think for ourselves.

really .. i alway thought most carparks were there for a reason specific to its location .. you know .. like shopping and stuff .. not just to sit there an look at each others cars and shoot the s**t .. people actually do use them for an intended purpose from time to time . do you think you can just go anywhere and park just because its public .. man even if you paid for tickets an congregated in one it wouldnt be long before you got kicked out

 

I worked for a fast food place and we didnt mind the cars taking up the car park (we actually get a few groups) why? coz once they have all been through and ordered mostly the dining room stays quiet for the rest of the night LMAO!
