| Comment | > Cyclists do my absolute box in. When you get in your car for a 10 minute journey, you don't want to get boxed behind a cyclist for 5 minutes...
I know you go on to say how everyone has a right to space on the road, and that's great. But come on... try not have this anger or frustration towards people in the first place who are simply trying to get where they're going by bike.
This isn't just in response to you, but I'm saying this for anyone in this thread.
People on bikes get grief for riding on the pavement (justifiably if it's not a shared space), but the segregated cycle lane network is still very bare bones... So you're inevitably going to get lots of people riding on roads until this is addressed.
Just live with it. It's a vulnerable position to be in, on a bike on a busy road, and I can assure you the person riding isn't thinking "god this is so much fun winding drivers up".
They're more likely thinking about the movement of the cars around them, watching the upcoming junction, looking out for car doors opening, etc.
Just a call for a bit more understanding from everyone here. |
