Cyclists
I don't care if you don't pay road taxes or registration.
But if you're going to use the fucking road, you obey the same fucking rules.
The next time you choose to run a red light and get hit by a car, I'm not calling 000. When the lights turn green, I'll be going.
The next time you choose to ride side-by-side beyond the white line that defines "your" lane and use half of mine, I will more than happily use "your" lane to take the smoother line through a bend or roundabout.
It's not my problem if you can't brake and turn at the same time while taking a tighter line. Adjust your speed. You're not in Le Tour de France. I'm not in Circuit de la Sarthe. But automobile does not yield to cyclist. When I rode my bicycle as a boy, I knew my place on the road. It wasn't in the middle of a lane full of traffic.
The next time you waste my time wobbling around off the line at the traffic lights in front of me while I need to get somewhere, take your spendex-wrapped carcasses down to K-mart for a set of trainer wheels. You evidently skipped this step in the learning process. Oh and we can get a better start than you. Get over it.
Don't look at me funny if I use my horn because you're using MY lane.
On the road, we are not equals.
If you're a pissed off cyclist reading this...don't. If you want to flame me, you are welcome to do so but will be grossly mistaken for me caring as I'm not going to read anything you have to say.
End of story.
