One of each starts huffing and puffing impatiently, complains loudly about the people in front being too slow then just barges past, pushing the others out of the way. Pushed-out-of-way people look appropriately hurt/troubled/battered.<br /> Same pushing people are then pictured driving, with cyclist ahead of them. Pushing-people perform similar huffing/puffing/"get out of the way you're too slow"/beeping/snarling and do the car equivalent of shouldering impatiently past, only this time knocking over and squishing the cyclist, which is then revealed to be their child/spouse/granny/friend/colleague/whatever. Dolly zoom onto impatient twerps' crashing-horror faces with subtitled "don't be such an impatient twerp just because you're in a shiny car and think ten seconds of your time is more important than SOMEONE ELSE'S ACTUAL LIFE" or somesuch. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11730#post-134721 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 23:58:43 +0000 Uberuce 134721@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>*series of images from our Rubbish Cycling Thread*</p> <p>"Would it have been better for all concerned if this person was driving an SUV?</p> <p>Would it have been better for all concerned if they'd been on a segregated bike path?"</p> <p>*series of images from our Rubbish Driving Thread*</p> <p>"Would it have been better for all concerned if this person was driving an HGV?</p> <p>Would it have been better for all concerned if they'd been out their car and cycling on a segregated bike path?" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11730#post-134715 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 23:29:51 +0000 Nelly 134715@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aim it at the politicians as nothing will change while their pig headed stupid lack of vision remains.</p> <p>Cycle safety campaigns seem to put some onus on us.
