Hmmm, maybe Boudicca had the right idea with those knives on her chariot wheels? :poke:

I think you mean Jane Fonda and others in her age group. You are right though, she was young once.

So taking a self righteous one hand off the handlebars to bang on somesones roof as you go past is -- not as dangerous.....

Cant wait for the first driver to be done for using his phone whilst his car is on auto pilot and he has both hands off the wheel....

Oh and for the best veggie burger start of with a pound of Grass fed beef mince!

As a cyclist I have no objections to this. He's only doing what the cops miss.
If you play by the rules you have nothing to worry about.

Guy is an thoroughly insufferable c**t

The lycra lice need a cracking down on, the number of them that ride on the road alongside a cycle lane specially built for them is enraging

Edit: autocorrect correct :roll:

Thoroughly engaging. Lol

With an attitude like that I foresee your face engaging with a cyclists fist at some point...

Why do some cyclists choose to ignore available cycle lanes?
If they’d been as available in my cycling days I would definitely have used them.

This vigilante fella seems to go out actively looking for trouble - is this his raisin de’tre?
I wonder if he works for his living?

Because they are insufferable ***** :rofl:
They seem to have this almost genetic level superiority complex around being "aLlOwEd oN tHe rOaDs" that they will, at any possible opportunity, use the road and, add to that their almost biblical scale arrogance and self importance will do so without even a hint of concern or consideration for anyone else on the road. :fuelfire: :fuelfire: :fuelfire:

Somewhere around £1,500,000 - £2,500,000 has been spent in Fife on cycle lanes and without fail, every. single. day, I will see more ***** cycling on the road next to their lane than cyclists in their lane. They are a menace.

£100 fine if they are cycling on the road next to a cycle lane :thumbsup:
Anyone cycling on a pavement, cycle lane or road should have a registration plate :thumbsup:

I think you need to buy a new phone with better autocorrect.
It might also temper your attitude towards entitled cyclists. At this rate you're just turning into a wrinkly old grape of a man!
