Cyclists

So you know you are a try-hard and won't tell us who you are.

You remind me of those sick lads who chanted about Stephen Bradly's ill son.
They thought it was funny and 'banter'. However, once it goes to court (and it will go to court), everyone will know who they are.
Their family, their friends, their colleagues at work... they will all know what type of people they are.

You and they have much in common, but you hide behind a keyboard.
How brave you are.

PM me your email address there and I'll send you my name.

That van driver is entitled and totally in the wrong.
Seems to have an anger problem too.

I don't often agree with you but you are spot on here. You should leave sufficient distance from the vehicle in front, simple as!

Maybe that wouldn't have happened if he wasn't overseeing an organisation that bombed pubs, chippers filled with civilians and buried women in bogs for daring to comfort dying victims. Just saying!

Cyclists in Italy will be made to have licence plates, indicators, insurance and wear helmets following a proposed law by its government.

A right-wing populist politician copying his UK counterpart in the Tory government.
He will also copy the Torys by back tracking on this stupid 'proposal'.

Crazy stuff.

Apart from the requirement for bikes to have indicators - much as motorbikes do I guess - which of the proposals do you think is "crazy stuff"

licence plates - very easy to implement and could be used to identify errant cyclists thus encouraging all to behave on the roads.

insurance - with some bicycles costing a small fortune (my brother in law has one that cost 10 grand!!!!) I'd have thought it would give ease of mind, and help defray any damages caused by cyclists too

And the wearing of helmets - are you really trying to tell us it's "crazy stuff" for cyclists to have to wear helmets? Any child I've seen out on a bike in the company of a parent invariably has a helmet on. If parents think them a good idea why shouldn't adults wear them. Is it that it wouldn't be "cool" or something? Tell you this, there's nothing cool about a head injury sustained when coming off yer bike

I wear a baseball cap backwards when cycling, it's a look I've been rocking for a while. Helmets are for squares.
