@arben_sallaku @allpartycycling Oh behave ‘already discriminated drivers’

@MichaelAshurst @allpartycycling Yes because thus driver randomly got in front of this cyclist and slammed on his brakes😂 Don't be silly and stop provoking already discriminated drivers. I suspect going forwards prisons will fill up with drivers in order to protect the protected species.

A driver who pulled in front of a cyclist before deliberately slamming on his brakes, causing the rider to slam head-first into the car’s rear windscreen, has been sentenced to 14 months in jail, and banned from driving for four years. edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh…

@arben_sallaku @allpartycycling Let’s blame the bicycle in this instance 🤦🏻‍♂️

@allpartycycling Bicycles have no chance of stopping safely, as proven here. Top, safe speed for bicycles must 15mph max.

@thepichner @mhmaxpt_tpi @sgalpin

@mhmaxpt_tpi @sgalpin So how do you know they're there?

@KatyCycles @PeakBikeStation @sgalpin @CEO_BikeStation And how come cars don’t need to wear high vis when parked at night with no lights on? 😂

@oOPeterOo @PeakBikeStation @sgalpin @CEO_BikeStation I think that having very good lights should be enough to give cars ‘more time to see me’ Here’s a photo of my bike in a pitch black room

@PeakBikeStation @sgalpin @CEO_BikeStation All motorist ask for is more time to see you, anticipate a reaction and time to be able to react,

@RachidSayoud @IonutBanu1 Those bloody cyclists!! Would you believe there’s no speed limit for them 😜

@IonutBanu1 They have hatred against motorists.... why so-called cyclists get away with it

@mralibongo Is driving also not permitted or is it just the ‘non road tax paying’ cyclists?

This seems odd to me. So has UK athletics emailed members saying don’t run during the funeral? Or go fishing, etc?? Everyone can reflect about the Queen and how they pay respects to her is appropriate to themselves surely?

@MarkEDenton @lawro14764 @kil0ran @cyclegaz The ‘war’ will never end. Things like road tax, insurance, high vis, taking a test to be ‘allowed on our roads’ etc cause so many arguments from cars. Most cyclist own cars, pay tax, have insurance and know the HWC, but people see me on a bike n say I don’t pay for the roads

@MarkEDenton @lawro14764 @kil0ran @cyclegaz There’s just as many bad drivers as there are bad cyclists, but I don’t go around hating on all drivers for it. The push back from cyclists is bc cars needlessly put their lives at risk just to get in front of them. I have a car, but choose to commute by bike as it’s far quicker.

Reminder to Motorists: - Give way to pedestrians waiting to cross side roads before you turn into them - Give way to cyclists in the cycle lane before turning across them

@MarkEDenton @lawro14764 @kil0ran @cyclegaz What’s also quite interesting is how much hate cyclists get for simple existing both on an off twitter.

@MichaelAshurst @lawro14764 @kil0ran @cyclegaz What's actually quite interesting is how many cyclists on Twitter regard HWC "should" rules as optional because it's not the law.

@MarkEDenton @lawro14764 @kil0ran @cyclegaz Shame cars never follow this and many other Highway Code rules isn’t it 🤷‍♂️

@lawro14764 @kil0ran @cyclegaz An underlying theme of the Highway Code is taking personal responsibility for your own safety. "Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident." Is it better to avoid an incident or be in hospital/court taking comfort from "being in the right"?

@VincentStops @cyclegaz Anyone with a set of eyes will see that’s the design of the cycle lane 😂

@cyclegaz Does the Highway Code suggest not riding inside parked cars where you won’t be visible to other road users?

@ohbee07 That close pass was a choice from the driver, they chose to pass super close even though the road was empty

@cyclegaz It's never the drivers fault is it? 🤣

Should we design all roads with crash barriers? Or design motor vehicles so they can’t speed?

@ohbee07 @RosNigel Unfortunately the world is full of idiots like Nigel who see a video like this, of a car trying to bully someone because of their mode of transport, and conclude the car did nothing wrong.

@rast8 @AdamBronkhorst Tell me you've never ridden a bike on UK roads without telling me you've never ridden a bike on UK roads

@helenpidd Yes, because cars think they pay for the roads and took a test to be ‘allowed to use them’ and cyclists just jump on a bike and ‘don’t stop at red lights’ or pay ‘road tax’ and don’t have insurance.

@TheBlueUlysses You missed out high vis, insurance, license plates, having to take a test to be allowed on the roads ‘they’ pay for 😭

@RnLittlewood @TheBlueUlysses The amount of drivers I see not indicating, speeding, on their phones, going through red lights, cutting cyclists and other vehicles up, to name a few, it’s a lot. I like to play ‘driver bingo’ when I’m out to see how many things I can spot drivers illegally doing.
