I get so annoyed by the cyclist self opinionated view that they are always in the right and all other road users are wrong. Now lorry designs are having to be changed because idiot cyclists who think they can ignore red lights, use pavements, ignore the rules of the road and put themselves in the wrong places through ignorance are getting injured. You don't pay tax, you don't have insurance, you don't have a riding licence, you don't have any rights on the road. Get out of the way!</p> <p>"</p> <p>Think that covers most things. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12596#post-149172 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 07:27:09 +0000 gembo 149172@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good old Carlton Reid taking the argument to the motoring press. Good comments including Gareth gates from X factor? And also about moderation of comments which has ensured the whole piece is pro cycling (one comment about MOT for bikes) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12596#post-149171 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 07:19:16 +0000 gibbo 149171@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Excellent. Should be required reading for all drivers.</p> <p>(Imagine if, instead of the "nice way code", there had been an campaign spreading this informantion.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12596#post-149169 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 07:07:27 +0000 LivM 149169@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.motoring.co.uk/car-news/cyclists-why-do-they-ride-in-the-middle-of-the-road-_62617">Motoring.co.uk</a> </p>
