Push bikes on road do they go in middle of road or not thanks


Recommended Posts

Not sure where this thread is going, there are dicks who drive, walk run or cycle, we know this, but there are also people who respect others who run, cycle walk and drive, if you are on a bike, you are very vulnerable to been knocked off and killed or seriously injured. Let's all just respect other road and pavement users. The reason a big group of cyclist ride in a big group is because if they were to ride in a long line the cars would try and overtake them and then squeeze them into the side when they realise they can't get passed.

Fair comment but when they flatly refuse to let anyone pass for 2-3 miles can you blame drivers for getting a little pissed if with them ? Also applies to tractors and as a tractor driver I was taught that if you have more than 6 cars behind you you should find somewhere suitable to pull over to let them past and in reality it ads very little to the journey and less stress from tw4ts trying to do dangerous overtakes !!!!

It's rare I see near accidents when the traffic is flowing, but when there's someone going way under the speed limit and blocking the road, then I see it all the time! It's not just folk on bikes though, cars going 40mph in a 60mph are just as bad.

It really does my head in when I see grown adults riding on the pavement. I'm sure there's something in the back of my mind telling me that you're not allowed to ride on the pavement past the age of around 13. Also people riding with no hands, riding while texting, and my favourite: riding while smoking.
