thats it with you cyclists you want the rules to apply to others but not yourselves

cyclists are a menace

Ah the old US & THEM. Lots of cyclists are also motorists, and most are pedestrians too. You go on about them as though they are a complete different species, as though somehow when any person gets on a contraption with 2 wheels they suddenly become a homocidal suicidal lunatic.

I see loads of Gardai -sauntering around not enforcing cycling rules or policing the roads.

So do I, and I am glad to see they are doing their job right, laws are brought in for a reason, I find most gardai have common sense and enforce the laws where appropriate. You might get the odd pedantic arsehole cop who might arrest somebody jaywalking over a completely empty road, but they would be in a minority. I break road laws in full view of the gardai, last week I got a nod from one of them, appreciating what I was doing, I was keeping myself safer, and helping the flow of traffic. Was I breaking the law-yes, was that law brought in with the intention of stopping my action- apparently the gardai did not think so, neither did I, and I expect the morists behind me were pleased to see me "breaking the law" too.

All cyclists should have an ID Card and permit.

THey are a danger so shouild be licenced.

So I expect you would say the same about pedestrians? After all they are the biggest road law breakers out there. Ohh wait, I expect you are a pedestrian so they do not fall into your bitter little US & THEM mentality.

If that was meant tongue-in-cheek my apologies, but if not I would expect the people in cars to say something like 'f***ing cyclists' and general ramblings about how cyclists don't respect the law yet I do/have to etc.

The rest of the little lemmings will be coming in with their own pictures of private cars. If I see my car up there the poster will be coming off their moral high ground with a hatchet in the back.

i think theres a clue in the picture as to why riot police were involved and it isnt the italian restaurant in the background.

Says a lot about this forum when the usual moaning thread gets 7 pages of attention and the Lance Armstrong thread gets 1.

Lots of cyclists are homocidal lunatics put them on a bike and they are a lawless bunch of hoolligans

And just like you break the law for convenience cos they wont get prosecuted.

I just love the logic -but good of you to fess up because it shows the culture of tolerance to lawbreaking on our roads
