As motorists get hit with higher fuel costs and soaring road taxes, I thought it was about time we looked at the real problems out on the roads and there is one group that think that despite paying no contribution to road use they should rule the right of way – cyclists.
Yes the lycra clad, helmet sporting, saddle butt-munching brigade are in my line of sight! Kaboom. What is it with these people! Yes, we know you don’t burn fossil fuels on your carbon-kevlar space age pushbikes, but we pay for the roads and you’re nothing but guests in our domain.
But what really gets me cranked is this, all too often when you’re forced into dialogue with one of these people they’ll pull out the green card topic, gives them that all so good moral high-ground, but then it won’t take long until they tell you how unsafe it is out on the roads.
Only this morning a buffoon in brightly coloured spandex and a racing bike nearly took out a pedestrian as he shot into a one way road – the pedestrian looked for the on-coming traffic and only just managed to avoid getting into a messy accident on the way to work.

the only ones that truly bother me are those who choose to ride for exercise or fun on main roads at rush hour. that's just stupid.
other than that, i ride for fun sometimes...to the bar a very short distance on side roads. i don't do it because it's better for the environment; i do it because i usually drink too much. also, i'm poor.
