Im afraid ive tried it

But half the time i ride on the pavement, i very rarely ride my pushbike on the road as i dont have a cycle hat.

Not quite as bad, but I frequently grab the clutch lever on my Vespa.

Unfortunately this often results in me crashing since its actually the rear brake.

You think I'd learn or somehow manage to adapt.

Nope.

Every.

Fucking.

Time.

I dont even own a pushbike to be fair, to get fit i just go the gym

.

besides pushbikers do my head in on the roads from time to time how can they think its fine to totter along on a road an mix with the cars on a busy road and the same goes for islands but when we have to wait at traffic lights they can just roll on right through?????????????????????????

if I'm in the car I shout obcenities at the idiots who ride 2 or more abreast, and in the middle of the road. They act like egyts. I pushbike whenever the proper bike is off the road but atleast observe the highway code.

Im pretty considerate to cyclists, im surprised some of you guys arent seing they are pratically in the same situation excet they are slower and dont have to wear the gear.

Yes, its debatable weather they should use the road or not i suppose but for the moment they are and inevitably there are people who do use it, which makes them far more vulnerable than motorcyclists if they get wiped out, so they get as much consideration from me as i possibly safe for me to do so.

i have complaints about cyclists, only those who ride in 2s or more that ride side by side in the road, or those who ride like morrons

i got on my old push bike the other day, felt so strange, being so thin and unstable

no i saw a push biker get nicked once going through red lights, dont worry same highway code applies for push bikers its just its that cops dont tend to patrol traffic lights, and i guess traffic light camera's wont work either as theres no number plate, so i guess push bikers are just running that small chance there get fined if caught,

Well they do my sizzle in. mainly because most of the roads by me have a special bit on the edge of the roads or paths round islands for bikes only but they dont use the island ones they join the darn thing an cock everyone else up almost causing major accidents, so my respect goes out the window in that case i honestly think some of em need to take a licence to ride on the road

but to be fair you cant ride a motorbike without a licene or a car.

PLUS........ we pay insurance and tax and have to maintain our vehicles to stay on the road which aint cheap. theres been many a time iv seen someone on a pushbike smash into a car who pays??????

I suppose its each to there own oppinion cos on the other hand bikes give out zero emissions but them old grany mobility things dont either etc. and so the battle between good and evil continues.

just to be picky technically the granny Mobil's do produce CO2 as they get their electricity from the power stations
