Bikers and Cyclists in London Morning all. this is just an observation really. I ride both the "motor" and the "push" to work, depends on how unfit I am feeling when I get up. I know that cyclist alway jump lights, use pedestrian crossings and pavements. But it is more their attitude. Yesterday, I was cycling, and I pulled out to filter (sometimes I forget what I am riding) and looked back and there was a bike (hppened to be a duc) coming up behind me. I pulled in to let him passed. He waved, to say thanks...I thought...that's nice. 50 yards later I saw 2 cyclists...shouting at each other "I'll give you an effing race you winker" blah blah....... WTF, they are both commuting and it turns into a full scale shouting match....then the pedal off at top speed to the mext set of lights. More effing and blinding, then off they went again. Anyway, I thrn thought about it and I think that this is common, cyclists are very agressive, where as most bikers are pretty curtious most of the time..... Just an observation thanks for listening, A |
