Minor Things That Wind You Up

I always thought that was a Great Tit.

 

The group holding up the A19-Snaith road this morning were in parts 3 abreast and employed a rider at the back of the group riding on the white line to prevent passing. Also more than 6 riders within touching distance. These are the groups that boil my pyss on almost a daily basis and whose behavior varies greatly in respect of your commuting or leisure cyclist. Time they were all made to display a reg plate.

“But Jeremy Corby would have been worse”

 

That is clearly unacceptable and you should report them to the police. However, please don't tar all cyclists with the same brush just because these people refuse to act responsibly and give due consideration to other road users.

 

Well, nice to know its not just me that's a grumpy old bar steward

 

saw a t v programme about the roundabouts in Cambridge which give cyclists priority - does it actually work - if I was on a bike am not sure if I'd trust the motorists!

 

annoys me when there's been a major fk up in a hospital or following a police investigation etc etc. and the response is 'Lessons have been learnt' - as if saying that sort of excuses the fk up.

And when someone tells me of their trip to Wales and how they walked into a pub/club and all the locals immediately switched to speaking Welsh and I want to ask them what language were they speaking in the pub BEFORE they walked in.

 

I've not lived there since 1982 so I don't know. I did cycle through Cambridge last September but we stayed mainly on the river side path and didn't see the new facilities.

 

English people that think they live in america or we're somehow brothers or cousins. I have no more affiliation with an american than with a womble.

Going slowly over speed bumps.

If it's a bump in a 20 zone, it's designed so you do 20 over it, same at 30.

You don't have to slow down to 5 mph.

 

This used to be me... although I never had issue with they're.

Just their and there.

In fact I used to rewrite entire sentences to avoid using the word.

I have now got used to it and haven't been pulled up for it for ages

 

Go through our village with the speed humps at 30...

Roaring trade at local garages fixing suspensions and tracking etc

 

Bill your council then.

 

Ow, warrabart..... erm av fergot nar.... ermmmm....oh yeah, posters that come on here whilst P1ssed, spouting absolute what's its..............erm......boll0x, yeah boll0x. They need banning, ban em ban em now.

 

It works in The Netherlands because that's how all roundabouts are set up within built up areas. It also helps that there are way more bikes, so it's a very common scenario to cross paths that way.

It won't work here as well unless they would do it everywhere. And even then, having way fewer bikes on the road means people don't get used to it as well, so may "forget" to check their (lack of) priority.

I wouldn't trust it over here. Although even in The Netherlands you'd still keep an eye out just in case. Not much point in being right when you're dead.

 

Thiz not enough speed cameras or speed humps imo.

 

Lovely stuff.

 

I can only imagine that the wait is for a break in the sync in the lights or something. I know that in town centres especially the button actually has no effect at all because the lights are all linked together. When one is on red the next is red, the next is green, green green, red etc to form a loop around an area. Pressing the button and allowing the pattern to be broken would cause so many issues so instead the button is simply a placebo to give the pedestrian some feeling of control when in reality they would be waiting just as long with or without pressing the button.
It's the reason that when Chicago rock caught fire and west way was closed off for about a week they didn't simply change the lights to red and instead allowed them to continue cycling through the colours with a sign below them saying road closed.

 

They may have thought he was foreign. Did they add the letter O to the end of every word?
