Middle-lane hoggers to be punished

[GastonJ]

Perhaps make them carry ID so they could hand out on the spot fines would help. Those that carry no ID, take the bike until they pay.

Don't know if you were aware of this... But as a license holding car driver, if I use a push bike & get stopped by the police for doing something stupid/illegal on the bike... I could get points & a fine on my license, even though I wasn't 'driving a car'.

It's the grape smuggling sports riders that need to be clamped down on. They seem to think they have a god given right to occupy all of the road. Nearly wiped out a group of them on a country road a few years back. I'm doing 60mph, the legal limit, heading around a gentle bend with hedges blocking long view. Next thing I know there's 20 grape smugglers on a suicide run coming towards me on my side of the road.
Yet to hear their abuse you'd think I was a drunk driver in a stolen car that's just ran over a party of nuns and orphans that were waiting for a bus.
How I missed them all I don't know, I was expecting at least 3 to go over my bonnet. When will they learn that they are the most vulnerable group on the road. Even pedestrians rank higher in survivability studies.

Aye they don't take any responsibility for their own safety and expect everyone else to do it for them. Common sense doesn't prevail at all.

No. 1 rule of the road is, look after your own safety 'cos no-one else will. Being run into even if you have right of way still cking hurts (or worse) and no amount of saying "I had right of way, it was your fault" will make the pain of being run into go away.

first thing I was told many moons ago when I got my 1st motorbike was 'everyone on the road is out to kill you, it's your job to avoid them'

I hate cyclists.


And pedestrians.



And lorry drivers.



Oh, and other bleeding car drivers.


In fact why don't you all **** off and leave the roads to me? I'd be happy then...at least once I've saved up to buy some petrol

Well very soon they will also be able to drop from above as well

Researchers in the Czech Republic have unveiled a 95kg (210lb) remotely-controlled bicycle that can hover a few metres above ground for five minutes. Carrying a dummy rider, the electric prototype successfully took off, flew around and landed inside an exhibition hall in Prague.

The bike is powered by two battery-run propellers on the front, two on the back and one on each side. The machine could help two-wheeled commuters avoid zigzagging through traffic jams - but it is not quite ready to hit the road - or the air above it - just yet.

BBC News - Bike makes riders high-flyers, if only for five minutes

Larger windscreen wipers and screenwash for wiping them off yer screen every 6 minutes

Electric bicycles even rather expensive top of the range have limited range, so doubt will be any good fir long term fuling or bad wind
