checking out their arses, are we perhaps

on yer bike

Come on, tell me that this isn't a funny sight.....

hmmm indeed. proves what was previously my assertion. btw, just on the quiet b/n you and me, you got anymore pics like that?

I can remember that happening all the time when we lived in WA.
I guess it's just standard.

Here they don't do it I think. Here they flash when your headlights broken or something.

Give me a fit cyclist in lycra showing off sexy, toned legs and a tight arse over a fat motorist with his gut wedged between his seat belt and trousers any day

Well said Steve.

Or how about when they come charging across zebra or pelican crossings when you are half way across with your kids.

Yes, it's most frightening when a car does that!

I dont see how someone flashing at you can encourage you to speed, getting flashed at should make you slow down and keep a look out, as you dont know the reason for the flash in the first place.

One of the main reasons for flashing/getting flashed where I live (small country lanes) is that there is a horse and rider round the next blind bend.

I had a flame war with many people on this forum when I admitted to having a radar detector in my car (legal in UK), if you have one of these you would never speed as they are constantly going off for traffic lights, automatic doors and sometimes for speed cameras. Statistics show that radar detectors reduce accidents by slowing people down. (I got rid of it as it will be illegal in Aus btw I dont speed)

People flashing you also slow you down, so the speed camera has done its job in a roundabout fashion.

Keep flashing.

Phil.

Listen, mate, we follow the road signs! I've seen how you lot read signs............


Steve

or how about those pedesatrians who come charging across the road, stepping right out in front of you, as if the cycle lane is an extension of the footpath??

Or those drivers who happily park in the cycle lane as if it's not part of the road??

You can't knock cyclists until you've tried it and realised how close they come to death on a daily basis - at the hands of automobiles and pedestrians!

Bus lanes, cycle lanes, pavements and footpaths.......how much more of the road do you lot want! If a car is 6 times wider than a bike and we can carry 6 times the number of passengers, then it's obvious that we need 6 times the room! If you want to play with your bike, go to the park!

Steve

For many, a bicycle is a mode of transport not a toy. You possibly don't understand this given that your comments indicate that you don't ride a bike.

I don't condone any cyclist who rides the footpath. What I will say, however, it is hardly surprising that some cyclists do choose the footpath given the way motorists treat them when they use the road.

If you widened your narrow view point, you might actually see that cyclists who choose to make their journey without the use of the car are actually helping to make the environment a better place for you and your children to enjoy. What you also obviously don't realise is that one more cyclist often means one less car on the road - and less traffic congestion for you.

Half the journeys you make by car are probably completely uneccesary, and I really don't believe you always carry 6 passengers with you. And besides, what makes you think your journey by car is more improtant than someone else's journey by bike? Cyclists have a right to get from A to B just like motorists do. Your comments come across as suggesting that a motorist is a superior human being to a cyclist. Why is that?

You really should get out more and do some exercise.

Steve, You and your pictures are excellent, loved the ones that came up after the match.I am at work in the morning can you pleeeaase put some pictures of the boys landing at heathrow for those of us who will not see it????

I remember as a child in NZ that everyone seemed to FLASH the car lights to warn that a traffic cop was hidden up a head on a main road with a speed gun.
