Total disregard for other road users.

Any cyclist that says they obide by all laws are full of ****!!!

Where is your compulsory 3rd Party insurance?

I think I'll go and pull a few laps in the Clubby at the velodrome. As long as I follow the rules I should be fine.

Hahahahahaha, sounds like something id do! I have ZERO patience for cyclists around my area. The ones in spandex anyway. ALWAYS riding more than 2 abreast along the Esplanade here in huge packs. Its 1 lane either way. Theres a bike trail that goes along the beach away from the road to use, but do they... Nope.

When i see the slimy little asshole that put the 3 inch scratch on the my front 1/4 from his bike and rode off I will be doing much the same as the guy in this news article.

Deservedly so!

I always give them as little room as possible... Drive past as close as I can while not breaking any laws... **** them!!! I pay to use the road, they don't!

Canberra has bike paths EVERYWHERE!!!

But the ****in labor government thought it would be good to make all the lanes on our main road into the city (Northbourne Ave) narrower, to give bikes their own bike lane and then drop the speed limit from 70 to 60.

Typical liberal socialist idiots! Man I hate the Labor Party!!!

The only people I can see in the wrong here are the spandex spastics(like yourself).

It is high time you idiot road users start obeying the laws when cycling on public roads.

Might I suggest you get a copy of the road rules & have a read of them.
We are allowed to ride 2 abreast, we are allowed 1.5m of road space, and heres the best part. If we feel that we need to "take the lane" for our own saftey, ie taking up the whole lane coming up to a roundabout to stop idiots squeezing past us going thru the roundabout, then moving back to the LHS of the road, we can. And we arend breaking any laws doing so.

So, the guy causing who in a sense, caused a massive accident, and then left the scene of an accident, isnt wrong?? DId you go to H.S??

I hit a spandex spastic years ago. He ran a red light and I cleaned him up as I didnt see him! He said when he was laying on the ground with his shin bone poking through his skin, that he thought people would wait for him! What a wanker! I had visions of hitting him for months to come after that and I was 100% in the right! Lucky I had 5 witnesses who were on my side and a bus driver who called the police to give a report also, that the bike rider clearly ran a red light!

The should stick to the footpath or just drive a car!

I've seen many weekend warrior cyclists riding three or four abreast on some of Melbourne's major roads, ignoring red lights, give way signs and the like on their merry way

Yep, they are out there. Like bad P platers. Spoil it for the rest of us. Yes, they should be fined by the police for such offences, and have legal action taken, just like the rest of the motoring world.

He was referring to the spandex spaz's who ride 3 a-breast. He didn't say ALL bike users. Just the majority. Which i agree, most of you do.

I always cut em off... Drive past as close as I can... **** them!!! I pay to use the road, they don't!

Last I checked, you dont actually pay to use the road, except on toll roads, so that arguement is useless. Most of us pay insurance (thru our car insurance) for our cycling, and extra cover on our health insurance.

Check with the RTA on CTP and vehicle rego rules. We dont need to.

Great mentality too btw. Use your brain. What if you were to kill a cyclist due to your great ideas of driving past a 'spandex spastic'? What if your kids / wife / partner are in the car at the time and witness you ploughing down another human, coz of your arrogance?
Seeing another human getting killed in a horrible way stays with you forever. I still get nightmares.
